On Friday, October 20, the Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS) in Boa Vista will hold an outreach event aimed at aiding homeless individuals. Taking place from 8 AM to 1 PM at the Church of Nossa Senhora da Consolata in the São Vicente neighborhood, this initiative aims to offer essential social support and benefits to the vulnerable population. Among the primary services provided will be guidance on assistive benefits, including the Benefício de Prestação Continuada (BPC), which is a monthly income transfer for those in need.

During the outreach, the INSS will facilitate various activities such as issuing pension statements and providing consultations on social security rights. The organization encourages attendees to bring photo identification, if available, to expedite the service process. This type of community support is critical in addressing the needs of homeless individuals, who often lack access to essential benefits and rights acknowledged by social services.

The INSS's actions are part of the larger initiative, Mutirão PopRuaJud, which coordinates efforts among public institutions to enhance the accessibility of rights for homeless people. By collaborating with various agencies, this campaign represents a significant step towards integrating more marginalized members of society and ensuring that they receive critical assistance and support from government services, ultimately aiming for improved social equity in Boa Vista.
