From avoiding detention to Housing First — because all people have a right to support.

The non-profit organization providing independent support for offenders and the homeless offers comprehensive assistance tailored to each individual situation. We treat you with respect, advocate for your rights, and support you in achieving your goals. We are also a reliable partner for professionals, authorities, and institutions. Difficult life circumstances take many forms. We provide support—with holistic, resource-oriented, and precisely tailored assistance. Whether you are living on the streets or have been in emergency shelters for years, we support people in finding their own apartments and beyond.

Accepting support isn't easy for many people—and sometimes you don't even know where to start. That's exactly why we're here. Click on what best describes your situation—you'll be taken directly to the right specialist teams. Or simply call our office: We'll work together to find the right contact person for you—Monday to Friday.

All our services are voluntary. You decide whether, when, and how you accept support and which goals we pursue together. We empower you, stand by your side, and advocate for your rights – for greater social participation and a self-determined life.
