The CAI aims to:

• support the technical intervention of the teams of the city social services
• motivate and coordinate the interventions of the various municipal departments
• facilitate the coordination of the actions of the various civil services
• organise a coordination system of social attention for the first reception of homeless migrants in the city of Valencia in order to maximise the available resources and the actions.

Persons with migration background

The city with the CAI has given a working instrument for supporting the existing municipal services which have to deal more and more with a public of immigrants.

The CAI has indeed constructed a close collaboration with these services and has elaborated various means of support such as the orientation line or the practical handbook for integration addressed to the city employees or also by participating to specific training for the latter.

Considering the benefits of the municipality's plan on immigrant integration, a second one is currently being elaborated by the Social Welfare and Integration Service of the city and the Culture Service of the City.

An expert commission has evaluated positively the city’s plan for immigrant integration and the CAI action. According to the CAI, the first plan was quite ambitious and the second one is more realistic. It seems that the human and financial resources allocated to the CAI were not sufficient regarding its objectives.

CAI is financed by the Social Welfare and Integration Service of the city and by the Culture Service.
