• The Council will grant between 6,000 and 10,000 euros in direct aid for basic expenses, and between 1,000 and 1,500 euros per month for housing rent
   
• The Generalitat's aid will be compatible with that of other administrations and will be channeled through the single window of the Valencia City Council

 

The president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, has announced the first aid package aimed at the people affected by the fire in the residential buildings in the Campanar district of Valencia.

 

Carlos Mazón has explained that these aids will be approved in the Plenary of the Council which will be held in an extraordinary way in order to activate as soon as possible the necessary measures to alleviate the situation of the families.

 

The aid, which will be compatible with that granted by any other public administration, will be channeled through the single window of Valencia City Council so that it is distributed "quickly, time can be saved and bureaucracy is avoided".

 

Specifically, the Council will approve a first package of direct aid of between 6,000 and 10,000 euros, according to the members who make up the family unit, to cover basic expenses such as food, clothing or transport, among others, "of so that the most basic and urgent can be attended to", he pointed out.

 

The aid decree will also include amounts of between 1,000 and 1,500 euros per month for families who choose to rent a home, and for those who choose to acquire a property, the Generalitat will exempt them from paying the Tax Patrimonial transmissions.

 

In addition, a package of social assistance is planned, which includes a permanent psychological assistance service, beyond the urgent assistance that is being provided by the Valencia City Council in collaboration with the Red Cross, as well as the preferential relocation of dependent or vulnerable people who need a place in a residence, day center or specialized center, and the preferential re-schooling of minors whose families decide to school their children in another location.

 

The Generalitat will also offer free public transport for the affected families for at least one year, and has coordinated with several animal shelters to facilitate the temporary access of companion animals that may require attention by making available two veterinary hospitals if necessary.

 

Finally, the president has reiterated his thanks to the different fire brigades of the different administrations for the extraordinary effort they are carrying out.
