Rosa-Fischer-Gasse 2, 1030 Wien, Österreich - Vienna is at the forefront of social responsibility: The Case Management from Wiener Wohnen prevented a total of 835 possible delogings. This remarkable success shows that nobody is left behind in the federal capital, even in times of financial difficulties. The social workers of the city service work closely with tenants who are threatened by homelessness, and offer them extensive support in rent debts and other financial problems. This means a success rate of impressive 75 percent, as the balance of the case management shows.

Wiener Wohnen has been involved in this area since 2017 by a team of 24 social workers who provide direct help. These specialists advise those affected both on site in the municipal buildings and in the Service Center. The help offered ranges from applying for residential aid to support in installment payments. In addition, employees are available for telephone consultations every day to react quickly and unbureaucratically to financial bottlenecks. In order to ensure sustainable housing securing, Wiener Wohnen cooperates with other urban institutions such as the MA 40 (social welfare office) and MA 11 (child and youth welfare), which further increases the efficiency of the measures, such as meindezirk.at reported.
