Marche extends care-cost support to towns of up to 5,000 residents

Leggi in italiano

Marche’s executive approved criteria raising the population threshold from 3,000 to 5,000 for coverage of 90% of municipalities’ remaining costs for children placed outside their families. The €4.6 million from the 2025 national social-policy fund concerns costs incurred in 2024. Larger towns may receive residual resources, up to 40%. The measure now goes to the Council of Local Authorities for its opinion: payments have not already been made. This supports municipalities, rather than offering a grant families can apply for directly.
