Teams from Caxias do Sul City Hall, led by chief of staff Grégora Fortuna dos Passos and Caxias Civil Defense coordinator, lieutenant Armando da Silva, met this week with Caixa Federal to obtain all the necessary information so that the affected families due to the rains in the city can access the benefits released by the Federal Government, such as withdrawals from the Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS).
It is up to the municipality to present the list of families to Caixa, containing the complete address, including the house number, in addition to their current situation. To this end, the City Hall made a WhatsApp channel available to the community – (54) 98418.7275 – for victims to inform their needs and pre-register with the Housing Department for subsequent donation of construction materials.
Caixa reinforced at the time that only people directly affected will have FGTS resources released. The benefit is not for all residents of Caxias, although the city is in a situation of public calamity, according to municipal decree.
