The project “Soko Deme – Finding a home: Inclusive housing placement” supports people in Cologne with a refugee or immigrant background who are affected by homelessness or precarious housing conditions. The target group includes people aged between 18 and 50 who are at risk of losing their home or are already homeless due to uncertain residence status, unstable employment and a lack of German language skills. These people are often affected by trauma, psychological stress and gender-based violence, which makes their situation even more difficult. The project offers comprehensive support through preventative measures against the threat of losing their home, acute support in the event of homelessness and psychological stabilization. There is a particular focus on individual support for traumatized participants, language support and consideration of gender-specific needs. Thanks to its many years of experience and trauma-specific expertise, the project creates a safe space in which participants receive help in finding accommodation, stabilizing their mental and financial situation and applying for benefits. The aim is to stabilize the living situation of those affected and offer them a safe living environment.
