Between a Safe Harbour and a New Beginning

In its program of social pedagogy, the Integrationshaus offers three residential communities for unaccompanied minor refugees as well as other children and young people who, for a variety of reasons, cannot live together with their families. In all, living accommodations and care are offered for 26 children and young people between the ages of three and 18. Pursuant to an Austrian law mandating “complete care” for children under the age of 18, care is provided at the behest of the Vienna Child and Youth Welfare Office and the Fonds Soziales Wien (Vienna Social Fund).
