Mersin Metropolitan Municipality provides 9.9 million lira support to low-income families

Mersin Metropolitan Municipality continues its support for citizens in need as part of its social municipality approach. The June payments of the Halk Kart application, carried out by the Social Services Department of the Metropolitan Municipality, have been deposited into the accounts of beneficiaries. In June, a total of 7,261 people received support payments amounting to 9,939,200 lira, with 3,435 people receiving 1,000 lira each and 3,826 people receiving 1,700 lira each. These payments aim to help low-income families meet their basic needs. Municipality officials stated that such social aids will continue regularly.

The Halk Kart application not only supports citizens but also local tradespeople. Since purchases are made from contracted local markets and grocery stores, the city's tradespeople also benefit economically. This way, those in need can obtain basic food and necessities while contributing to the local economy. The municipality aims to strengthen social solidarity through this application. The program is widely used across Mersin.

Mersin Metropolitan Municipality has also implemented other social aid projects alongside Halk Kart. For example, there are educational supports for students, care services for the elderly, and special programs for disabled citizens. The municipality aims to reach every segment of society with these projects. The social municipality approach holds an important place in Mersin.

With the June payments, thousands of families have received support. These payments help low-income families cope with rising inflation and economic difficulties. Municipality officials announced that similar supports will continue in the coming months. Citizens can meet their basic needs more easily thanks to Halk Kart.

In conclusion, Mersin Metropolitan Municipality's Halk Kart application sets an important example in terms of social assistance and solidarity. This model, which supports both citizens and tradespeople, could inspire other municipalities. The municipality aims to increase social welfare through such projects.
