Criticism of the planned clearing: Delmenhorst is fighting for family center!

Fröbelstraße, 27749 Delmenhorst, Deutschland - alarm level red for the Family Center Froebelschule in Delmenhorst! Gabi Baumgart, the voice of the Integration Advisory Board, raises the alarm and asks the city administration to protect the vital advisory services. The concerned former councilor turns directly to the city council groups to draw attention to the impending savings that could seriously endanger the integration project for refugees.

On Wednesday, the social committee took a look at five future variants for the family center, which must move due to insufficient premises. One of the radical suggestions: the complete deletion of all offers! The passionate debate shows the urgency of the situation, because the cuts could lead to massive consequences. "Varied funds could later reappear as expensive costs elsewhere," warns Baumgart.

Important decisions are facing

The decision about the future of the family center is closer! The FDP called for the topic to postpone the next week. On November 7, the social committee will set the course for the importance of the facility in a special meeting. The family center, which will continue to be operated by workers' welfare by February 28, 2025, could soon be facing if there is no quick action. A information process is urgently needed to protect the concerns of the approximately 200 refugees.

The massive savings threaten the professional support of asylum seekers, the integration process of which is already burdened by high advisory requirements. This could endanger the good reputation of the city in the area of integration! In the first half of 2023, over 643 consultations took place in the family center, which makes it clear how important this point of contact is. Baumgart not only demands information, but an immediate stop of the planned job cuts of 6.5 positions. Otherwise the city could plunge into an integration crisis.

The public meeting of the specialist committee for social and health on November 7 from 5 p.m. in the market hall will offer the opportunity to get involved. Citizens can raise their voice and thus set a sign of the future of integration work!
