Inclusion in the focus: 140 new living spaces for people with impairments!

Peuerbach, Österreich - Upper Austria is courageous in promoting inclusion! In 2025, 140 new living spaces for people with impairments are to be created in order to promote self -determination and equal opportunities. The designated Caritas Upper Austria director Stefan Pimmingstorfer explained that access to the world of work plays a central role in inclusion: "It strengthens the personality. You get new courage again ..." he emphasized. The ÖVP also emphasized the social councilor Christian Dörfel that people with impairments can move into their own living spaces after the age of 40. Im Rahmen dieser Initiative wird ein Budget von 628,7 Millionen Euro bereitgestellt, was beinahe zwei Drittel des Sozialbudgets ausmacht, wie meinbezirk.at reported.

Another central aspect of the plan is the integration of people with impairments into the labor market. Caritas Upper Austria has launched an inclusion service point that serves as a contact point for both those affected and companies. "Projects such as the inclusion center Upper Austria ... bring people closer to a self -determined life," said Pimmingstorfer. In addition, the state will support companies that are willing to give people with impairments a chance of a job, including through an inclusion grant. The innovative employment model "Concern inclusive" creates security for both sides, such as orf.at reported.
