Object and Purpose of the Aid

The grants finance the cost of the works and actions necessary for the functional adaptation or adjustment of housing used as a habitual and permanent residence where people with disabilities, in a situation of dependency, or with limitations in mobility or personal autonomy reside, even if such a degree has not been officially recognized. They may also cover the acquisition of technical, functional, or instrumental means that promote the personal autonomy of these individuals or their caregivers in the basic activities of daily living.

Additionally, extraordinary aid is provided to cover the costs of recovering the habitability of habitual dwellings affected by catastrophes or serious accidents, such as fires, floods, or earthquakes.

Beneficiaries and Requirements

For the 1st and 2nd modalities, eligible recipients may be people over 65 years of age, people with disabilities, in a situation of dependency, or with accredited problems of mobility or personal autonomy, provided they have resided in the municipality of Cabra for at least one year and for at least two months in the home for which the action is requested.

For the 3rd modality, extraordinary aid is directed toward individuals or family units with accredited residence in Cabra for at least one year and who have resided for a minimum of two months in the affected habitual dwelling. The home must have lost its habitability due to a catastrophe (earthquake, flood, etc.) or a non-provoked serious accident (fire, lightning strike, etc.). Annexes or auxiliary buildings linked to the home may also be covered, provided they are intended for its support or service and do not have commercial use.

Social Impact

The call reinforces the municipal policy of support for the most vulnerable groups in Cabra, making it easier for elderly people, people with disabilities, or those in a situation of dependency to remain in their homes under conditions of accessibility and safety, and providing a response to families who lose the habitability of their home due to a catastrophe. With a budget of 55,000 euros, the City Council bets on personal autonomy and the recovery of the home as the axis of social well-being in the municipality.
