The Calabria Region has introduced new initiatives to support individuals with disabilities and their families. Initially, the regional government launched a care allowance program utilizing 14.78 million euros from the National Fund for Non-Self-Sufficiency. This program provides monthly economic contributions over twelve months to facilitate direct home assistance.

Following this, the Calabria Regional Council presented a project to establish a regional network of municipal guarantors for the rights of persons with disabilities. The initiative aims to expand the number of appointed guarantors beyond the current eight municipalities to include all 404 municipalities in the region, with a particular emphasis on supporting smaller towns through technical-legal assistance, training, and awareness campaigns.
