AGJ-Invalidity assistance in the district of Lörrach

The AGJ housing aid in the district of Lörrach consists of three forms of offer in the area of housing (reception house, stationary aid and prey housing) as well as two outpatient (specialist advice and day care) in Lörrach and Weil am Rhein. The year-round emergency sleeping place and the medical ambulance come to this. Thomas Hönig, Hausarztzentrum Brombach, offers a general medical session for homeless persons at the Erich-Reisch-Haus. In addition, a year-round emergency dormitory, the medical ambulance and a general medical branch practice for housingless people, recognized by the Kassenarzt Vereinigung Baden-Württemberg.

In 2009, the first department of housing security for the city of Lörrach was opened and the topic of prevention of housing losses was increasingly addressed. In the meantime, the department is also active for the cities Weil am Rhein, Rheinfelden, Schopfheim and the other county. In addition, AGJ's homeless support service has been active in the field of mobile homeless care, which since 2016, since 2017 in Rheinfelden and since 2020 in Schopfheim offers aids for households legally accommodated. Since 2024, AGJ has been part of the Lörracher Mensch- und Kinderrechtsweg.

In accordance with the guideline, the aid network developed outpatiently. The focus is on the preventive approach to work, the pronounced network and social space orientation and the human rights perspective. Main costs for the aid according to §§ 67 et seq. SGB XII is the county of Lörrach. Before the AGJ-Fachverband developed qualified aids for homeless persons, the main building in Wallbrunnstraße 77 has been a place of accommodation for the district of Lörrach since the 1960s. There are currently 22 employees and about 10 people volunteering. Many steps have led to today's aid concept, which consists of the components of housing, participation and life perspectives, and represents the leitmotif of combating poverty, safeguarding fundamental rights.
