Overview

  • The Generalitat Valenciana has processed 86% of over 165,000 aid applications and disbursed €479 million, including €297.5 million for first-necessity goods and vehicles.
  • Two key aid lines—essentials and vehicle compensation—account for 55% of requests, with €146 million and €150 million paid out respectively.
  • By contrast, the Spanish central government has paid €110.3 million for similar aid categories, resolving only 14% of its allocated budget.
  • Housing damage aid saw the Generalitat pay €146.8 million to 24,469 families, while the central government disbursed €66.6 million to just 3,868 applicants.
  • The Generalitat attributes its faster aid delivery to efficient management, achieving a 60% payout rate despite operating with a budget twelve times smaller than the central government.
