The Government has authorized this Tuesday in the Council of Ministers, on the proposal of the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030, to allocate 3,005,969 euros to Ceuta to finance programs of social interest, the amount collected in the tax allocation of 0.7% of the IRPF and Corporation Tax among the governments of the autonomous communities and cities (except for the Basque Country and Navarre for their special tax regimes).

In total, more than 375 million euros will be distributed (375,746,226 €), a figure that represents an increase of more than 40 million euros compared to last year’s figure.

For the distribution of resources, the application of 13 objective criteria specified in the methodology has been taken into account: the dependent population, the population at risk of poverty and social exclusion, the dispersion of the population, the aging rate or the disability rate, among others.

This distribution proposal, proposed by the ministry headed by Pablo Bustinduy, will soon be submitted to the Territorial Council of Social Services and the System for Autonomy and Care of Dependency. From that process, it will be the autonomous communities that will manage their own calls for grants.

The entities that will be able to benefit from these subsidies will be the entities and associations of the Third Sector that meet the requirements established in the corresponding autonomous calls.
