Also, to promote the training and coordination of the associative fabric of Torrevieja; promote the employment of people with functional diversity through an employment plan generated from the ADL together with local associations, as well as continue promoting volunteering, increasing investment in campaigns to promote and disseminate work carried out by all local associations.
Eduardo Dolón has highlighted his commitment to launch assisted housing for people with functional diversity, in addition to promoting a specialised area in the Council to help process the different requests for access to sheltered apartments and autonomous housing for people with functional diversity. In addition, a point of information, orientation and advice will be created for the creation of new NGOs and constitute the “table of functional diversity”.
