Reception: CAS, SAI and what became of them

Ukrainians were housed both in the general CAS/SAI system and under special measures with a subsistence contribution that was later wound down. As at 26 September 2026 we have no verified description of the arrangements after 1 January 2026: check with the prefettura and the comune rather than relying on older guidance.
