About the volunteering opportunity
The Darmstädter Landstraße housing project is a temporary accommodation facility in Frankfurt Sachsenhausen. Single people, couples and families live here in a total of 82 residential units. The aim is to get people into housing with their own tenancy agreement. Social workers support the residents in this process and offer on-site advice on general life issues such as securing a livelihood, health and finding a job. If necessary, referrals are made to specialist services and advice centers.
However, this project also focuses on living together as neighbors so that residents have the opportunity to establish a new network of social relationships and feel more like an integral part of society again.
