“This is a resource that came from the State and that can only be used in Inclusive Residences. In addition to APEDEF, AAPNENSEL also received almost R$ 177,000. In total, more than R$ 530,000 are invested to improve the reception of people with disabilities in Ponta Grossa," he said.

What are Inclusive Residences?

The Inclusive Residences integrate the services of Special Social Protection of High Complexity of the Unified System of Social Assistance (SUAS).

These units are intended for the reception of young people and adults with disabilities who have some degree of dependence and are unable to remain under the care of the family.

The care seeks to ensure protection, coexistence, autonomy and access to essential care, offering an environment adequate to the needs of residents.

With the new equipment, the expectation is to strengthen the reception structure and expand the comfort and well-being of the people served by the institutions in Ponta Grossa.
