The agreement was formalized on January 14, 2026, by the Minister of Social Rights and Inclusion, Mònica Martínez Bravo, and the Mayor of Lleida, Fèlix Larrosa. The investment, split equally between the two administrations, aims to improve the integration and care of vulnerable groups.
The model, set to roll out starting this summer, involves building two temporary worker centers (the first in la Caparrella with capacity for 32 people) and establishing 130 social flats across the city. A key element is the new 'Hub Cívic' in Balàfia, located in the former school.
“"The people who will occupy the rooms are users coming from other care centers; their time at the Hub will serve to accompany them toward personal autonomy."
The signing follows a protest against the 'Hub Cívic' project last weekend, which included members of the PP and VOX parties. Mayor Larrosa regretted the opposition and stated that discourses criminalizing vulnerable groups would not be tolerated.
“"The best way to combat disinformation and hate speech is with facts."
