The Regional Government of Madeira has updated the funding for the Lar Santo Antonio project, raising the total amount to over 2.3 million euros for the creation of 47 new places.
The Regional Secretariat for Inclusion, Labour and Youth has published Ordinance no. 218/2026, which amends the distribution of budgetary charges related to project 4479, designated as Lar Santo Antonio. This investment, financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), aims at the construction and renovation of a Residential Structure for Elderly People (ERPI) and an integrated Day Centre.
The project, contracted between the Regional Secretariat for Inclusion, Labour and Youth and the Social and Parish Centre of Santo Antonio, provides for the creation of a total of 47 places. Due to the need to reprogram financial execution, the total investment amount has been increased to 2,630,897.67 €.
The distribution of budgetary charges is defined as follows:
