Government provides additional investments to strengthen "Famílias com Futuro" programme
In 2012, the Government of the Azores will reinforce the lease support scheme under the "Famílias com Futuro" (Families with Future) programme, a measure aimed to minimise the effects of the current situation among Azorean families.
This initiative is part of the assertive policies the Regional Government has been implementing in the Region in order to support Azorean households.
The information was provided today by the Regional Secretary for Labour and Social Solidarity, after a hearing with the Commission on General Policy of the Azorean Parliament on the Regional Annual Plan and Budget proposals of the Autonomous Region of the Azores for 2012.
The recovery of degraded housing and the maintenance of direct support to families for the construction of privately owned housing are other measures included in the 2012 plan.
Providing Azorean families with better housing and safety conditions continues to be, according to Ana Paula Marques, the major goal of the Azorean Government, which intends to cover more households in 2012 under the "Famílias com Futuro" Programme.
