The monthly activity of the Independent Life Support Centers (CAVI), which are part of the pilot project of the Independent Life Support Model (MAVI), is reported to the National Institute for Rehabilitation, I.P., based on the completion of the monitoring grids by each of the institutions.

According to these monitorings, in November 2021, in the 35 projects in operation, 953 people were supported, of which 430 in the Norte Region, 197 in the Centro Region, 125 in the Alentejo Region (752 people supported in the POISE territory), 35 in the Algarve Region and 166 in the Lisbon Region.

Of the 953 people supported, 501 are female and 452 are male, and people aged between 16 and 92 were supported, with an average age of 45.

From the start of the project until 30 November 2021, a total of 1 906 233 (one million nine hundred and six thousand, two hundred and thirty-three ) hours were provided, of which 1 425 763 (one million, four hundred and twenty-five thousand, seven hundred and sixty-three ) hours were provided in the territory covered by the POISE, 163 623 (one hundred and sixty-three thousand, six hundred and twenty-three ) hours in the Algarve Region and 316 848 (three hundred and sixteen thousand, eight hundred and forty-eight) hours in the Lisbon Region.

In November there was an increase in the number of active PIAPs, an increase in the number of new PIAPs and a decrease in the number of suspended PIAPs. The number of personal assistants providing support increased again compared to the previous month, also increasing the number of personal assistants with a contract but who did not provide support, meaning that there are more personal assistants in stock.

For the third consecutive month, the number of active PIAPs, defined by the entities in application (905), was exceeded, which may continue to be associated with the increase in the number of recipients, allowed by the extension of the projects, whose changes have already begun to be implemented throughout the country.
