The infamous dorm in Vienna’s 11th district is closing for good. All residents must move out by this Friday night. A team of volunteers is organizing cars & people to help with the move: many residents are elderly and/or handicapped. They need volunteers & wheels. Pls DM.
I am so dumb. I naively assumed when @Stadt_Wien said all dorm residents would be assigned new housing in Wien by April 15, that would happen. Now I am hearing some residents will be sent TO THE ARRIVAL CENTER. Nightmare. Some may refuse to leave…could potentially get ugly.
This is an absolute shitshow. I should have known. It did not have to be like this if anyone cared. These are vulnerable Ukrainians who have been under extreme stress for months. 
No words
Another mom is livid because all the families with kids got moved in March to a better dorm where they can cook and receive social payments. Except her and her 5yo child who has a heart condition. They have been offered a “hotel” which means €40pm & cafeteria fare indefinitely…
Another dad says they were offered either the “hotel” or a homeless shelter. His son is handicapped and he says cooking for themselves is their top priority, but he isn’t sure they can manage the bunk bed in the shelter. The accommodation being offered isn’t always “suitable”.
😡 the man in the wheelchair you see in the video DW made about my work just told me he also has no housing assignment and might be sent back to the arrival center — which is from the street not wheelchair friendly & shower is outside in container! I’m so mad.
A phenomenal team of multinational volunteers have set up shop in the dorm and are doing what the city should have done. Remember this whole saga when the SPÖ comes to us with its adverts talking about “Soziales” Wien.
