Hot meals in the Plainpalais community hall

The people who usually come to the Club social rive gauche (CSRG) can now take their meals indoors in the Plainpalais community hall. Close to 120 breakfasts are served Monday to Friday from 8 a.m., while between 200 and 230 lunches are served at two sittings at 11 a.m. and 12.30 p.m. With winter approaching, this represents a significant improvement for particularly vulnerable people. This delocalised service is part of the action plan of the Department of Social Cohesion and Solidarity.

31st anniversary of children’s rights: children victims of the social crisis

Every year, the date of 20 November marks the anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The City of Geneva’s commitment in this field was acknowledged in 2018 with the UNICEF Switzerland label of “Commune amie des enfants”. In 2020, we have seen that children are severely affected by the social crisis facing Geneva. Accordingly, the action plan of the Department of Social Cohesion and Solidarity provides for a number of interventions intended specifically for children.

COVID-19: New emergency support measures for the local economy

The Administrative Council has taken new emergency measures linked to the health crisis with a view to supporting the local economic fabric. This involves implementing a system of vouchers to support local trade, waiving the rent for the month of December for commercial tenants of the municipal real estate agency (Gérance immobilière municipale) and financing, in addition to the Canton, the 20% share not covered by the lessors or the state for tenants of commercial premises whose rent falls between CHF 7,000 and 15,000.
