The First Vice-Presidency and Ministry of Social Services, Equality and Housing of the Valencian Government has announced an allocation of one point eight million euros to aid in the construction of new social service centres as part of the two thousand and twenty-five funding programme. Elena Albalat, the Secretary for the Autonomous Sociosanitary System, emphasised that investing in social infrastructure equates to investing in dignity, aiming to ensure safe, modern spaces for quality care of the most vulnerable individuals.

Albalat underscored the complementary nature of support measures, indicating that funding will assist both immediate placements and the construction of service centres. She confirmed that selected projects underwent rigorous technical and territorial analysis, allowing for prioritisation of actions with the greatest social impact and equitable investment across the region.

Furthermore, Albalat highlighted the commitment of the Valencian Government to high-quality health and social care delivered under optimal conditions with necessary resources to guarantee citizens’ wellbeing. She remarked on the pivotal role of social entities in this effort, as they complement and enhance the administration’s proximity care, inclusion, and support for vulnerable communities.

Of the total funding, one million three hundred and eighty-five thousand eight hundred and thirteen euros have been allocated to four local authorities: Benaguasil, Guardamar del Segura, Ontinyent, and Culla. Additionally, four hundred and twenty-six thousand one hundred and twenty-three euros have been designated for five non-profit entities. Recently, the Generalitat had also allocated two million five hundred and sixty-seven thousand three hundred and ninety-seven euros to one hundred and nineteen entities for social service centre equipment investments, with further funding for renovations currently being processed.
