Individual & Family Services - Berlin, Berlin, Germany
The focus of our services are young homeless people aged between 18 and 26 years and homeless intra-EU migrants. In 2012, the team of the "Klik" contact point for "the street youth" founded the same-named association to provide reliable assistance and support programmes for young homeless intra-EU migrants in Berlin. Qualified professionals and volunteers of the multi-lingual team at KLIK e.V. are fully committed to the issues of those seeking advice.The reasons for homelessness are diverse but they always indicate a resources loss spiral. The access to social assistance for homeless people or individuals at risk of homelessness who are not German citizens and/or who have stayed in Berlin for a short time yet or even undocumented is blocked in multiple ways.Our primary task is to reduce the material poverty of those seeking advice by helping them to access social welfare benefits and by providing job search assistance. However, the orientation on the material poverty is not enough in overcoming homelessness.We at KLIK e.V. want to help the addressees of our work to pursue their interests and to participate in society.Moreover, we want to contribute to making it possible to all people in Berlin to have access to appropriate housing, social help services and health care.To this end, KLIK e.V. operates a Contact and Counselling Centre for people with housing and social difficulties in Berlin Mitte, oriented on the needs of young homeless people. There are showers, washing machines, a cooking facility and an internet cafe. The centre provides social and socio-educational counselling and support in the German, English, Polish and Romanian language. Our social workers counsel young homeless people in handling the immediate challenges of their everyday life as well as in dealing with authorities and service providers.
