SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, July 24 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cabildo de La Palma, through the Ministry of Social Action, Equality, Diversity and Health, has opened the period to request the subsidy for those people who lost their second home for residential use, as well as non-hotel tourist establishments and entities affected by the last eruption that occurred on the Island, in 2021. The call is endowed with an amount of 4.5 million euros.
The content of the same has been published in the Official Gazette of the Province this Monday and the period to request the aid will remain open from July 25 and for 20 business days. Interested persons or entities can consult all the information related to the call through the website of the Cabildo de La Palma, being able to submit the application through the Electronic Office or in person at the citizen service offices of the Corporation and in the decentralized Registries using the official model specifically prepared by the Cabildo de La Palma.
To facilitate the submission of applications, days will be set up by appointment at the offices of the Social Action service of the Cabildo de La Palma (Casa Rosada, Cuesta de la Encarnación nº 24, 38700, Santa Cruz de La Palma).
The president of the Cabildo, Sergio Rodríguez, recalls that, despite the fact that almost two years have passed since the eruption, the socioeconomic consequences are still being suffered on the Island, both individually and collectively. “It is important that the Cabildo continues to respond to the citizenry, and, in this sense, this support for people and tourist entities is essential to continue with the recovery,” he defends.
Along the same lines, Sergio Rodríguez pointed out that this subsidy’s main objective is to alleviate the situation of vulnerability in which people and entities that were affected by the volcano find themselves and lost their second homes or non-hotel establishments.
