Investments in care homes and training, work and care centres
In 2023, the Ministry of a Solidarity-Based Future initiated the construction of housing facilities intended for older people who are dependent on the help of others. The Ministry finalised a public tender for the construction of new buildings for institutional care for the elderly. These included smaller, independent residential units designed in accordance with modern building standards, the use of sustainable materials, and complying with the requirements for nearly zero-energy buildings.
As part of this and the repeated public call for tenders, the Ministry co-financed 16 projects with a total of EUR 65.71 million absorbed from the Recovery and Resilience Plan. This project will ensure 539 new places in care homes and in training, work and care centres across the country.
