The selection of beneficiaries is based on information obtained from Sisbén IV, the Social Registry of Households and the lists of the indigenous population. It is important to note that there is no registration process; instead, the information available in these databases is used.

To ensure periodic updating of beneficiaries, A review of the databases will be carried out every six months. Those who fail to comply with the commitments established in the Commitment and Co-Responsibility Act could be excluded from the program.

There are four lines of care with specific requirements, adapted to the conditions of each home:

1. Care assessment: intended for people included in groups A1-A6 of Sisbén IV, who will receive financial support consisting of eight cycles of $500,000, adding a total of $4,000,000 per year. Entry requirements include single-parent families, homes with people with disabilities who require permanent care, and indigenous intervention units with children under 6 years of age.
