Familjen Erik Bancks Stiftelse Mariagården

Founded in 1938, Familjen Erik Bancks Stiftelse Mariagården is a foundation based in Helsingborg, Sweden working on housing & homelessness, elderly care, poverty & hunger.

Familjen Erik Bancks Stiftelse Mariagården is a foundation established in 1938 in Helsingborg, Sweden. It provides rent-free housing to older, financially needy residents of Helsingborg, in properties in the Slottshöjden, Norra Hamnen and SeaU areas of central Helsingborg. Tenants are admitted after individual assessment, for a three-year period that can be extended. The foundation also rents out smaller rental apartments on the open market, and its subsidiaries, including the Staykvick boutique hostel, generate income that supports its charitable purpose. The foundation's residences are suitable for independent older living but not for people with special care needs. Its capital is managed through investments in shares and bonds.
