BRAGA – Braga opens support for accessibility in housing for people with disabilities and/or disabilities

Braga notes that applications are now open for support for accessibility in housing for people with disabilities and/or disabilities. Until April 19th, it is possible to register for the Braga Housing Intervention Program.

Until April 19th, the period for presenting an expression of interest in joining the PRR Housing Intervention Program (PIH) – Recovery and Resilience Plan, integrated in Component 3 – Social Responses, Investment RE-C03-i02: Accessibility 360º, it’s open.

According to the municipality, “this is a program that aims to improve accessibility in homes for people with disabilities and/or permanent disabilities, throughout the territory of mainland Portugal, with the aim of supporting interventions in at least 1,000 homes”.

Therefore, it is intended, among others, for alteration/construction works that improve accessibility outside and inside homes, such as replacing windows, installing stairlifts, visual/light alarm signaling systems, expanding compartments, replacing floors or replacing interior doors.

Expressions of interest can be made through the Balcão Único Online, through prior online user registration (and after validation of this registration by municipal services, if you have not already done so), or in person at the Balcão Único, located in the Pópulo building.

The amount of approved financial support corresponds to 100% of eligible expenses, after applying the limits foreseen for each eligible intervention, up to a maximum limit of €15,500.00 (fifteen thousand and five hundred euros) per house to be intervened.
