The Governor of SP Speaks Out and Affirms That More Than 100 Thousand Families Will Benefit

According to Doria, the Governor of SP, this is one of the most important programs that have been launched, because it promises to change the lives of many people. Those with low income know how difficult it is to have a gas cylinder to meet the needs of a family. Therefore, the government of SP is creating the Vale-Gas to assist thousands of people in the state and help those who need it the most.

According to the governor, through the program, more than 104,340 families in low-income situations, who live in underserved communities and favelas, will have access to three installments of the Vale-Gas, worth R$ 100 each, which will be paid between July and December of this year.

To find out if you will receive the assistance, the citizen must visit the official website of Vale-Gas. The website is already available and just enter the NIS number to access the information.

Bolsa do Povo

The Vale-Gas is one of the benefits that are part of Bolsa do Povo, the largest social protection program ever created by the government of SP. It was launched this year in May, and this year, R$ 1 billion in resources are planned for the project.

Within Bolsa do Povo, besides the Vale-Gas, programs such as Renda Cidadã, Bolsa-Trabalho, Via Rápida, Ação Jovem, emergency housing assistance, and Bolsa Talento Esportivo have been launched.
