📘 Guide: Emergency Shelter & Cold Relief
Acute, low-threshold emergency aid to avert immediate health dangers for people without a fixed abode. In addition to seasonal cold relief (purely overnight stay), this includes the legal enforcement of the municipalities' regulatory duty to provide accommodation under the General Security and Order Act (ASOG) in cases of involuntary homelessness.
Important Note
Municipalities have a legal duty to provide accommodation in cases of involuntary homelessness – regardless of the cold relief season.
Steps
- 1Use apps like the 'Kältehilfe App' for real-time capacities, as occupancy changes hourly.
- 2In case of involuntary homelessness, demand regulatory accommodation according to ASOG from the Social Welfare Office.
