This FECEP/SC, according to art. 82 of the Transitional Constitutional Provisions Act of the Federal Constitution, aims at making all the Santa Catarina State population accessible to decent levels of subsistence. The resources of FECEP/SC will be applied through: carrying out supplementary actions of nutrition, housing, education and health; strengthening family income; and other programmes of relevant social interest, aimed at improving the quality of life; maintenance and financing of the Fund itself, including the payment of personnel expenses and social charges.
