Representatives from the Arc Metropolità (ARC) municipalities conveyed to Minister Raúl Moreno Montaña the challenges faced by the second ring of Barcelona's municipalities in covering social expenses and addressing emerging social demands.
The rise in the cost of living, increased housing expenses, and stagnant wages have led to new forms of social precarity affecting a growing segment of the population. The ARC has communicated to the Department of Social Rights and Inclusion the need to expand social benefits to support these families.
The meeting also focused on the issue of homelessness. The minister pledged to allocate more budget funds for assistance resources for homeless individuals and requested the collaboration of the municipalities in addressing this phenomenon.
The new program contract model, recently signed with municipal entities, was positively assessed as a significant step forward in funding social policies.
