It's called "social good" the last revolution launched by the Government because the money paid by the city indigent citizens have a successful outcome. It is therefore used to actually go shopping, buy drugs and deal with other vital needs for which they are allocated. Without the risk that some saw them squander instead at the bar, betting or betting as has been reported in some occasions.
Since March, the poorest Legnaghese knocking at the town hall to get an economic aid will, therefore, instead of sums in cash, the "ticket service": so good they were baptized in varying amounts, pre-filled office assistance based on actual need of the applicant, providing a captive use. The coupons in question, printed on special paper with a lot of anti-counterfeiting watermark visible in silhouette, you will be able to use only in supermarkets, pharmacies or other retail outlets. And the beneficiaries, in addition to not being able to convert currency, do not even have the chance to pocket the rest if you do not spend the full amount. Just as they will not be allowed to supply of alcohol. "With this system started as an experiment," Erika says Ferrara, Councillor for Social Services, "the City will allow individuals and families in need to meet basic needs without also donate money directly. With a double advantage: first, to monitor the use of aid distributed, and second, to prevent the money from the community will be dissipated to get drunk, take drugs or bet the lottery. " "It is not acceptable as it has already happened," the commissioner continued, "that some saw betray our trust, and once collected the subsidy going to play or drunk at the bar. With the effect of arousing understandable protests of many citizens, shocked by certain behavior that from now on should not happen again. "
The crackdown on arrival was made possible thanks to the agreement signed by the City with the "Accor Services srl Italy» Milan: a major Italian companies to deliver this type of services to businesses and public bodies that manage the "ticket service" in the circuit of shops credited with periodic audits and capillaries. All in exchange for a fee equal to two per cent of the value of vouchers issued the entity, which will be combined and will have a minimum size of 10.
contributions in cash - of which last January 71 Legnaghese have received a total of € 9,440 while three families have been restored households cut off for non-payment - will still not eliminated altogether. "We will evaluate case by case," Ferrara announces, "and in some situations will continue to provide cash. Even if in the future we intend to give priority to the social good of the hundreds of people, mostly unemployed, single parents with dependent children and the elderly, who are asking us to support on average every month.
