Homeless - what now?

Are you suddenly threatened by homelessness? You have to leave home or don't know where you can sleep? This is a difficult and frightening situation. First of all, it is important to stay calm and think carefully about whether you have a friend, a family member or another trusted person you can turn to. Maybe there is a place where you can be safe for a while and a person with whom you can discuss the next steps together.

If not, there are some places in Vienna that support you in your difficult situation! There are also counselling centres that can help you find your own flat if you have a little more time and are not in an acute crisis.

1. P7 - Vienna Service for the Homeless

The P7 is a free counselling centre that offers anonymous counselling and helps you find a sheltered place to sleep. You can officially register here so that you still have a postal address. You can come to P7 from Monday to Friday without an appointment between 8 am and 6 pm. On weekends the opening hours are from 9 am to 4 pm. You can also call beforehand if you have any questions.
