Lighthouse Wien

Founded in 2000, Lighthouse Wien is a non-profit association based in Wien, Austria working on health, addiction, housing & homelessness.

Lighthouse Verein für Menschen in Not runs Lighthouse Wien in Vienna, a residential project for people living with HIV and AIDS, which is the only such housing project of its kind in Austria. It applies accepting drug work and provides psychosocial care and medication dispensing every day of the year, with a multidisciplinary team working alongside doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, authorities and psychosocial institutions. The association is an approved internship placement for psychotherapy training, employs civilian service workers, and relies on donations rather than subsidies for improving infrastructure and funding new projects.
