Hemayat moves to Favorites: A new home for more help!

Hemayat, an important organization in Alsergrund, recently moved into its new premises in Favoriten, thus closing a chapter in its history. The move had become necessary to meet the increasing needs of their clients. Hemayat has long been a pillar of support in the neighborhood and was often mentioned at anniversaries and fundraising events. But the previous premises were no longer sufficient to provide the required support professionally MyDistrict reported.

The organization sees positive future prospects in the new environment in Favoriten and is confident that it can help even more people there. The care center, now located in a more suitable environment, will enable Hemayat to respond more specifically to the needs of those it supports. The focus is on expanding the offering in order to continue to act as a reliable partner in Vienna's social landscape.

Strengthen the quality of life for the vulnerable

The topic of social support is also becoming increasingly important in other areas. One example is the Franziska Fast residential building, which has existed for over ten years. People who cannot live independently are offered permanent accommodation here. With 86 residential units, five of which are barrier-free, the offer is aimed at people from different walks of life, including the homeless and people with health problems. The aim is to offer residents a home in which they receive the support they need to lead as self-determined a life as possible Blackboard Austria notes on their website.

The Franziska Fast Haus stands out for its special substitution program for drug addicts. This program not only offers residents a roof over their heads, but also creates a protected environment that enables them to find their own rhythm in everyday life. Support offers are made available without pressure, which benefits the clients.

Overcome challenges

The pandemic presented special challenges for both the team and the residents. Many of the clients have vulnerable health conditions and have had to deal with stress and uncertainty. Regular visits from psychologists and medical professionals are an important part of the support at Franziska Fast Haus. Tafel Österreich also supports the facility with food donations twice a week so that the residents can provide for themselves.

The move from Hemayat and the diverse offerings such as the Franziska Fast Haus show how important it is to find needs-based solutions for socially vulnerable people. In Favoriten, Hemayat now has the opportunity to expand her valuable work and help even more people who urgently need support. A positive development for the community!
