The Funchal Municipal Council approved, on Thursday, a social and educational support package amounting to €226,626, as noted by Jorge Carvalho. These supports are part of six municipal programs: Natalidade e Família Support, Municipal Rent Subsidy, Municipal Co-payment for Medications, PRESERVA, allocation of school books and materials, and Taxis +75.
The Natalidade e Família Support program represents the largest share, with €164,311. The Municipal Rent Subsidy allocates €45,225, supporting families struggling with rent costs in the private market.
Furthermore, the council favorably decided to open the contracting procedure for three architects. The aim is to expedite responses to the numerous urban planning processes entering municipal services, as well as to provide the reinforced support required by the digitalization of urbanism services.
