A simplified regional support route
The regional government has signed PROAGES II agreements with 17 organisations and expects the programme to support 4,000 to 5,000 families. The published fixed grants are €300 for households without dependants, €400 with one and €500 with two or more.
The reported annual gross income ceiling is €35,688. Final assessment still depends on the programme rules and the documents required by the responsible promoter.
Confirm where and how to apply
A signed agreement and headline eligibility threshold do not establish that every household under the ceiling will receive a grant. Families should identify the authorised local promoter and obtain the current form, deadline and evidence list.
Do not send tax, identity or bank documents through an unverified message. Keep a copy of the submission and reference so that any follow-up remains traceable.
