Brazil has 14,791 entities of this nature, according to the Survey of Non-Profit Private Social Assistance Entities (PEAS) 2013. More than half (52.0%) were located in the Southeast Region, followed by the South (24.9%), Northeast (13.3%), Central-West (7.0%) and North (2.9%) Regions.

The prevailing target public of the social assistance entities were families (67.8%), followed by children aged between 0 and 12 years (63.2%) and children and teenagers aged between 13 and 17 years (59.1%).

According to PEAS, 72.6% of the entities declared Social Assistance as their main area of activity, followed by Education (11.0%). Other entities developed their main activities in the areas of Religion (1.7%), Culture and Sports (1.6%), Human Rights (0.9%) and Empowerment/Rehabilitation (0.8%), among others.

PEAS 2013 consisted of two phases. We are now releasing the first phase, which delved into the target public, territorial scope and services rendered by non-profit private social assistance entities (EASs). The universe of entities surveyed was extracted from the Central Register of Enterprises of IBGE.

The results of PEAS 2013 are available on https://www.ibge.gov.br/english/estatistica/economia/peas/2013/default.shtm

The initial objective of PEAS was to update the information about entities/local units at IBGE registers, including the area of activity and their services, programs, projects and socio-assistance benefits. Another objective was to establish the territorial scope of the entities/local units, taking into account that they could operate in more than one municipality or used more than one address in the same municipality under the same registry in the National Directory of Legal Entities - CNPJ.

Within the scope of the survey, the active entities were characterized thru a basic group of information like: socio-assistance operation, target public, territorial scope and socio-assistance services provided in the registered address.

Considering the 14,791 entities that PEAS 2013 surveyed, 83.3% carried out direct socio-assistance services; 65.3% (9,661) referred users to public services; 49.9% (7,384) referred users to cash transfer programs; and 49.5% (7,319) granted financial benefits or products.

Among the entities that carried out direct socio-assistance services, 76.8% had Social Assistance as the main area of activity; 10.33%, Education; 4.72%, other main area of activity; 4.36%, Health and 3.78% of them were distributed along the areas of Religion, Culture/Sports, Empowerment/Rehabilitation and Human Rights.

Only 8.3% of assistance entities assist traditional communities and people

The question on target public of EASs allowed more than one answer. As a result, the sum of the percentages exceeded 100%. The prevailing target public were families (67.8%), followed by children aged between 0 and 12 years (63.2%) and children and teenagers aged between 13 and 17 years (59.1%). Also registered above 50% those EASs for senior citizens aged 60 years and over (56.0%), adults aged between 30 and 59 years (51.0%) and youngsters aged between 18 and 29 years (50.2%).

Traditional communities and people were the target public that recorded the smallest recurrence, as they were focused by 8.3% of the entities. The regional distribution of the entities that addressed this public reflected the concentration of the Brazilian population. The North (8.0%) and Central-West (10.7%) Regions posted the lowest percentages, whereas the Southeast (35.3%) led them.

79.7% of EASs that carry out basic social protection promote inclusion of families

The Basic Social Protection of the Single System of Social Assistance - SUAS aimed at preventing risk situation and at strengthening community and family bonds. This level of protection was destined to the population that lives in situation of social vulnerability, due to poverty, privation - lack of income and precarious or even no access to public services, among others - and/or  weakened emotional-relational and social belonging bonds (age, ethnical, gender or disability discrimination, among others).

Basic Social Protection envisaged the development of local projects, programs and services of socialization and user-friendliness for families and individuals (including disabled persons), according to the particular situation of vulnerability (graph 7).

 The Service of User-Friendliness and Strengthening of Bonds and the Service of Basic Social Protection at Home for Disabled Persons and Senior Citizens were among the Services of Basic Social Protection provided by non-profit private entities. The first service, offered by 79.7% of the entities, was rendered in groups, in order to complement the social work with families and prevent situations of social risk. The second was offered by 26.2% of the EASs.

28.9% of EASs provide Special Protection to disabled persons, senior citizens and their families

The Special Social Protection (PSE) of the Single System of Social Assistance was destined to families and individuals in situation of social and personal risk, due to abandonment, physical or psychic mistreatment, sexual abuse, use of psychoactive substances, observance of correctional measures, homelessness and child labor, among others.

Special Social Protection had two levels of complexity: medium and high. The services of medium complexity assisted families and individuals who had their rights violated, yet maintaining family and community bonds. The special social protection of high complexity assured lodging, food, sanitization and protected work for unreferenced families and individuals and/or for those who need to be removed from family and/or community conviviality (table below).
