"Improving the social infrastructure in the Municipality of Kyustendil - guarantor of a sustainable model for deinstitutionalization"

One of the main priorities of the national policy in recent years has been the establishment of an effectively functioning child protection system to ensure the successful implementation of the child welfare reform in Bulgaria. The main aim and direction of the reform is the deinstitutionalization of the existing system of social services and the development of a system of alternative services for children/youth and families based in the community. The implementation of priorities requires the implementation of child and youth care reform and a qualitative change in the approach to social services provided to them. The project proposal will focus on providing an appropriate and effective social infrastructure that contributes to providing a new type of resident and community - based services, including health - social, to replace the institutional model of childcare. Support for deinstitutionalization of social services for children will be provided in accordance with the Community and Family Support Services Card and the Residence Services Card endorsed by the Interdepartmental Working Group on the Deinstitutionalisation of Childcare. The project proposal provides: 1. Repair of premises for extending the activity of an existing Day Care Center for children with disabilities with inclusion of CSRI activities; 2. Repair of an existing building for detecting the Observed dwelling for young people aged 18-21; 3. Construction of a new Transitional dwelling for children from 15 to 18 years of age; The implementation of the project will permanently contribute to the achievement of the goals set in the Municipal Strategy for Development of Social Services.
