At least four Community Homes will be established for children with severe disabilities who are currently living in residential care institutions. The European Union is supporting the development of these new social services through a grant competition open to civil society organizations. This initiative aims to uphold the right of children with severe disabilities to receive quality care in community-based services that better respond to their individual needs.<\/p>\n

Civil society organizations with experience in developing social services are invited to submit project proposals under the grant competition, officially launched today, 9 July 2026, in Chi\u0219in\u0103u.<\/p>\n
