In 2011, the Ministry of Labour and Immigration has allocated €2.5 million to expand the Neighbourhood Plan to 5 cities in Catalonia. The lines of action of these plans are six: socio-educational intervention, early detection of situations of abandonment, abuse and/or exploitation, intercultural activities in leisure and culture, training and employment, awareness activities, and advice and information. In the 5 cities of Andalusia, the social integration of 40,000 residents in areas with significant immigrant presence has been strengthened.
