Fond Soziales Wien: Warm Meals for the Homeless in Warming Rooms and Day Centers

In the warming rooms alone, over 40,000 warm meals are distributed. The 24-hour operation in the 13 additional emergency shelters with 1,000 places will also remain in place this coming winter. It was introduced during the pandemic and will continue despite the financial situation to provide support to homeless people.

Basic Care Without Warm Meals by Vienna Social Fund in Emergency Shelters

In the emergency shelters, basic care is still provided, which includes breakfast and support, and is funded by the Vienna Social Fund (FSW). In addition, the partner organizations of the winter package offer additional individual catering. In the warming rooms, a warm lunch is served to all visitors. These additional measures in winter complement the year-round available standard offer for homeless or houseless individuals. This offer is provided in over 140 facilities by more than 30 partner organizations of the FSW. Thus, the city of Vienna supports about 13,000 people and invests more than 160 million euros in aid for homeless or houseless individuals in the capital.
