THE Junta de Andalucia has opened the application period for rental subsidies that will benefit some 1,800 Malaga citizens.
It can be requested until September 30 online or over the phone.
The aid comes in order to minimise the economic and social impact of coronavirus in the homes of families with scarce resources.
In Malaga, €6.4 million will be allocated and some 1,799 people will benefit. €4,749,661 will be alloted in 2020 and €1,727,149 in 2021.
