Where the money goes
Monthly spending goes overwhelmingly to direct support for the people in the programme. There is no payroll: the people doing the follow-up are volunteers or work in one of our partner public services.
- R$700 to R$800
- rent, per person, per month
- R$150
- food allowance
- In months when the local social service provides no food parcel.
- Variable
- medication not covered by the public health system
- Depends on each person's situation.
- ~R$1,000
- average monthly cost per person supported
The Institute also covers the team's transport to the person's home on visit days. That is the only significant operating expense outside direct support.

Governance and team
The Institute is run by a largely volunteer team, working alongside the public services of São Carlos.
Supporting one person costs on average R$1,000.00 per month. That is what stands between someone and a return to the street.
