Housing wanted
We are looking for affordable housing for female residents of the women's refuge (and their children) in the Heidelberg area.
The faster our women's refuge residents can move into a new home, the faster space becomes available for more women seeking help from the shelter.
After staying at the women's refuge, no woman should be forced to return to a violent partner simply because she is unable to find affordable accommodation.
The women and their children have already been through a lot. They have generally come to us from a faraway town or community and are beginning a new chapter in their lives here. Although these women no longer need the high level of protection and intensive support of the women's refuge, they continue to be provided with support to help them manage the transition to a new and independent life.
We still work alongside the women after they move out, supporting them in a new area of town, helping with applications and official matters, and acting as a point of contact for any questions and concerns.
We need your support in order to do this – if you have a 1-3 room apartment to let or if you are interested in our project but still have some questions about it, please call us on:
