New opportunities in Vienna: Support for homeless people in the winter months
With the approaching winter, the city of Vienna has decided significant measures to support homeless people. The main thing is to create low -threshold approaches to accommodation and advice. The chances offer support in this way in order to counteract the consolidation of homelessness. Particularly noteworthy is the newly opened night center for Sautergasse, which has been operated in Vienna since July
The night center takes up up to 50 people every day without prior registration between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m. This offers an important security for many who are without fixed accommodation in the cold season. In addition to this, the Rossauer Lände opportunities house was put into operation in early summer. 70 places can be used here, for example for trans- and interlexible and non-binary persons. This development shows how important it is to take into account the multi -layered needs of homeless people.
extended capacities for the winter
For the upcoming winter, the city has created an additional 40 places especially for families. This expansion is a reaction to the increasing demand for overnight accommodation. The implementation of these support offers is particularly relevant because the cold season brings extreme challenges for people without a permanent residence.
In order to be able to help homeless people in Vienna even faster, the free cold app is also reactivated. This app enables passers -by to alert street social work when you see people in need. In this way, the help should be carried out quickly and effective if it is most urgently needed.
These measures are part of a comprehensive strategy of the city to improve the situation of homeless people. Through targeted offers and training, the city can respond to the specific needs of those affected. More details on this topic can be read in a detailed report at www.heute.at referenced become.
