The Central Housing Unit of the Office of Social Services supports people who have lost their homes. As a central office, it takes over the management and placement of homeless people in emergency housing and offers help regarding the current crisis situation. Currently, a total of 130 emergency accommodations are provided in four facilities run by independent providers, as well as 300 places in so-called single hotels / boarding houses run by commercial providers. Depending on the specific emergency situation, special contact persons and emergency shelters are available for the following groups of people: 


  • Single homeless people
