Leader of PS/Açores proposes housing support and tax benefits for displaced students

jornalacores9.pt13 September 2026 at 15:11

The leader of PS/Açores, Francisco César, announced that the party will propose measures to support displaced students. The announcement was made in the city of Horta, on the island of Faial, at the closing of the party's XVII regional congress.

Among the proposals presented is the creation of a Regional Student Housing Supplement, aimed at financially supporting students who need to rent housing outside their home islands.

PS/Açores also proposes that expenses for air travel of displaced students may be deducted in their income tax, thus guaranteeing tax benefits for these young people.

The measures aim to mitigate the financial difficulties faced by Azorean students who attend educational institutions outside their resident islands.

Why this matters

Displaced students from the Azores, who frequently face high housing and transportation costs to study outside the islands, may benefit from direct housing support and tax deductions. These measures, if approved, would represent significant financial relief for Azorean families and could contribute to reducing inequalities in access to higher education.
