A simulator called “Les meves ajudes”, allows on line consultation of the social aids a person is entitled to regardless of the Administration that manages them.

The simulator works anonymously and, based on the input, indicates which social aids may be requested, estimates the amount, and links to the procedures to be followed to request them.

Genesis

The website has been conceived as a tool for empowering citizens to reduce the problem of lack of access to existing public services. In addition to facilitating access and increasing transparency around public benefits, it also aims to destigmatize the demand, since anyone can anonymously consult the new tool from home.

Implementation level

The simulator, which is in its initial phase, contains information on nine types of social aids, a number that will increase with the addition of new ones, either from the City of Barcelona or the Generalitat of Catalunya and the State.

B·MINCOME is a pilot project for the establishment of a municipal inclusion salary in the city of Barcelona, which is testing with one thousand vulnerable families in the ten most deprived Barcelona neighborhoods, the efficacy and efficiency of combining a stable financial help with active social-employment policies.

B·MINCOME is a project pilot to fight against poverty and inequality based in the development of an integral policy which combines a public passive policy (a Municipal Inclusive Support, a financial help that supplements the income of the selected people and families) with four active social-employment policies: a combined education and employment plan; actions for the encouragement of the socio-collaborative economy; grants for the rehabilitation of homes which may allow room rentals; and a program for participation in community networks.
