Helping the homeless
New contact point for young people in need
There are many reasons for homelessness, and young people in particular need help. A new drop-in center has now been opened in Bruck an der Leitha, which offers refuge, food and advice - and aims to strengthen the services available in the eastern region.
Until now, Lower Austria had a single emergency shelter for young people in the provincial capital - with a catchment area of St. Pölten, Lilienfeld, Scheibbs and Tulln. The nearest facility is in Vienna, and there is no emergency shelter at all in Burgenland. "There are many different reasons why a young person suddenly has nowhere to sleep. The new emergency youth shelter now offers a protected space in crisis situations," said Provincial Councillor for Social Affairs Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig at the opening ceremony of the BruNo emergency youth shelter in Bruck an der Leitha.
This is housed in the former church contribution office at Kochgasse 6 and offers ten sleeping places and two additional emergency sleeping places, as well as food and advice. Admission is possible from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m. without prior notification and anonymously.
