    • outpatient, semi-stationary and inpatient assistance to overcome particular social difficulties

They are therefore market-oriented companies and not action-oriented institutions.

    Procedure:
    Funding must be applied for informally. Upon receipt of the documents, the Integration Office commissions The NBank to examine the sustainable economic viability of the project.
