ASSISTÊNCIA SOCIAL FUNLAR RIO Strategies that strengthens the deinstitutionalization 1. An institutional census was made in 2003, mapping all institutions that shelter persons with disabilities in the city of Rio de Janeiro. 2. In 2007 there will be a 2 nd phase of the Census/2003, recording all persons with disabilities who are presently in asylums and mapping the cost per capita of this service. 3. Creation of the Prime Network of Social Assistance, focusing persons with disabilities in the city of Rio de Janeiro. A network of 30 private institutions devoted to persons with disabilities is formally constituted since FUNLAR RIO supervises these institutions and grants each one the value of US$51.15 per capita/month. FUNLAR RIO does not have the values for the total cost per capita/month of these institutions since they have other forms of financing.
