SUAS is the acronym for Unified Social Assistance System. It is the Brazilian public policy that organizes and coordinates all social assistance services, programs, projects, and benefits in the country. SUAS organizes social assistance actions into two types of protection:
Basic Social Protection: Aimed at preventing social and personal risks, through programs and services that strengthen family and community ties. Examples: support groups, workshops, cultural activities.
Special Social Protection: Intended for families and individuals in situations of personal and social risk, due to abandonment, mistreatment, sexual exploitation, among other situations. Examples: institutional shelters, Pop Centers, halfway houses, and special social protection services. SUAS also offers Welfare Benefits, provided to specific audiences in an integrated way with services, contributing to overcoming situations of vulnerability. The Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS) also manages the linking of social assistance entities and organizations to the System, keeping the National Registry of Social Assistance Entities and Organizations updated and granting certification to charitable entities.
