Psychosocial Care

The psychosocial care team is offering two residential projects in Vienna for asylum-seekers, those already entitled to asylum and those with subsidiary protection status. The residence on Engerthstraße offers housing for 110 persons (adults and families) and specializes in the accommodation and care of people in need of special care (those with mental and/or chronic illnesses). The residential care staff are always on site and therefore always available for the residents. In the First Flat project, up to 63 young adults, families and single mothers live in shared flats throughout Vienna. They receive mobile care from the support team.
