The Viseu Parish Council has approved the commencement of the procedure for drafting the Social Support Allocation Regulation, which will define the access conditions for support for residents facing hardship.

The Viseu Parish Council announced that, by resolution dated October 21, 2026, the process for creating the parish's Social Support Allocation Regulation has been approved.
The aim of this regulation is to establish the conditions of access, criteria, and methods for allocating social support to individuals and families residing in the parish who are experiencing economic hardship or social vulnerability.
Interested citizens can participate in this procedure and submit suggestions and contributions for the draft regulation. The deadline to express intent to participate and/or submit contributions is 10 working days from the date the notice is published.
Contributions must be submitted via a written request, addressed to the President of the Viseu Parish Council. Submissions can be made in person at the Parish Council's offices or sent by email to geral@freguesiadeviseu.pt, with the subject line 'Social Support Regulation — procedure initiation'.
The request must identify the interested party, provide a contact for notifications, and, where applicable, present contributions or suggestions.
This initiative seeks to promote citizen participation in the creation of a regulatory instrument that responds in a more structured and adequate way to the needs of the parish's population.
