Refugee housing in Heimfeld set for expansion later this year
A new refugee accommodation has opened on Am Radeland Street in Harburg, Germany, as part of ongoing efforts to provide temporary shelter and support services to displaced people in the region. The facility, managed by local authorities in cooperation with NGOs and social organizations, is expected to house around 150 people, primarily families from Ukraine.
The accommodation was previously the administrative building of Hansewerk Natur, and renovation work has already begun to transform it into a suitable living space. The refugees will reside in the three-story main building, while a single-story annex will be used for creating social rooms and offices for the facility's staff.
The location of the accommodation on Am Radeland Street is strategic, as it is easily accessible and has the capacity to serve a significant number of residents. Notably, a residential accommodation for refugees has been in existence on the same street since the end of 2015, a few hundred meters away from the new facility.
The building complex has been rented by the city for an initial period of five years, and the opening of this accommodation follows the displeasure caused by the mention of another refugee accommodation in Harburg last year. Despite this, Harburg's deputy district administrator, Dierk Trispel, reported the information in the main committee on Tuesday.
It is worth mentioning that the sponsor for the accommodation is Fördern & Wohnen, an organization committed to supporting and housing refugees in Germany. The accommodation aims to facilitate integration by offering language courses, counseling, and access to local services to help refugees adapt and rebuild their lives.
This new refugee accommodation in Harburg is a testament to the city's ongoing commitment to humanitarian aid and integration, responding to the increasing demand for refugee housing in the area and highlighting Harburg's role in Germany's broader efforts to manage migration and support humanitarian needs.
