Wsparcie kierowane jest do kobiet i mężczyzn.
We provide:

- unpaid training and vocational courses
- ad hoc support (food, medicines, clothing, chemicals, public transport tickets)
- information and administrative support, assistance in official procedures
- help in finding work and housing
We run a re-adaptation home for former prisoners, where homeless people after leaving the penitentiary unit, can stay up to 3 months (the condition is to present a certificate confirming the release, which was issued no earlier than 6 months from the date of reporting to the PBO). The stay at this home is depending on the implementation of a readaptation program prepared together with a psychologist, consisting of organizing personal matters, continuing education, taking up employment, or, depending on the needs, therapy.
Inhabitants of the house, with the support of a psychologist and coach, fulfill all obligations resulting from living together: cleaning, cooking, shopping. It is a kind of training in everyday activities before becoming fully independent.
