The Family Intervention and Support Center for Autism was approved by decision of the Council of Ministers dated 6.5.2019 as a co-financed Project. The Project is implemented within the framework of the Cohesion Policy Program “THALIA 2021-2027” with the co-financing of the EU.

In August 2021, following a Public Tender the Department for Social Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities, as the Contracting Authority, signed a public agreement with a Joint Venture for the Organization and Operation of the Center.
