The Albatros gGmbH has a great interest in sustainable projects - also in the field of work with refugees. The community accommodation Seehausener Straße in Hohenschönhausen opened in January 2019 and represents the second stage after the initial accommodation. In a five-storey building complex for around 400 people, mainly families from different nations live together.

For the refugees, the move from initial accommodation to a shared accommodation represents a step towards more autonomy and more personal responsibility. The residents can prepare for their own and independent living and still receive support from the professional staff on site. In addition, the residents will be offered numerous and varied projects to promote togetherness and the integration of each individual into society.
