Regularly
Discussed individually
The time frame depends on the needs of the people to be supported and the capacities of those involved.
Important notice
Committed people can get involved as part of an open "drop-in hour" or support a single person/family in their search. Both will initially take place at the accommodation, but can be organized independently of location in the long term.
