One of the key objectives of care policy in the coming years is to strengthen, both in terms of quality and quantity, local, resilient care provision structures for people in need of care. Funding is provided for projects and measures aimed at further developing care provision structures that are community-based and innovative, as well as tailored to specific target groups. The Ministry of Social Affairs is therefore making grant funding available to safeguard and further develop the care infrastructure. Under the Care Innovation Programme, applications can be submitted for capital projects aimed at supporting the construction, conversion and modernisation of stand-alone short-stay care facilities and day care centres.
