Minister of Family and Social Services Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş announced that the Ministry of Family and Social Services started depositing a total of 2.8 billion TL Home Care Allowance into the accounts this month in order to provide economic support to citizens with full dependency and their families in need of care.

Minister Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş reminded that Home Care Allowance, one of the most important family-oriented care service models offered by the Ministry, was launched in 2006 with the idea that persons with disabilities would be supported primarily by their families.

Stating that the Home Care Allowance protected the integrity of the family by supporting citizens taking care of their relatives in need, Göktaş said: "As the Ministry, we develop policies with a rights-based perspective for persons with disabilities to fully access their fundamental rights such as education, health care, security and employment. We are hoping to reach every member of the society with the holistic and fair social service models developed."

Stating that 5.097 TL per beneficiary was paid monthly within the scope of Home Care Allowance, Minister Göktaş said:
