It runs several shared residential groups (Wohngemeinschaften) and supervised living arrangements in Vienna's 1030, 1060, 1070 and other districts, and a daytime structure in the Stumpergasse.

The aim is to stabilise young people emotionally and socially, support their reintegration into family, school or work, and help them move toward independent living. Services are provided in cooperation with youth welfare authorities (Jugendamt) and legal guardians. Young people are accepted through a structured intake process that includes an initial interview, a transfer meeting and an agreed set of goals.
