Assistance to Ukrainians in Austria: a new Arrival Center has been opened in Vienna

On November 15, a new Arrival Center for Ukrainian refugees was opened in Vienna, the capital of Austria. This is a temporary shelter and first aid point for those who have arrived from Ukraine for the first time and are looking for a temporary place to stay overnight.
The Vienna Arrivals Center is located at Althanstraße 14, opposite the Althanstraße tram stop.
What services can Ukrainians receive at the Arrival Center?
• Testing for COVID-19 and initial medical examination
• Temporary overnight accommodation
• Shower, laundry, hygiene products
• Assistance with further relocation within Austria or further departure to other countries
• Assistance with finding private housing within the framework of the Grundversorgung state refugee assistance program.
Also, displaced persons who previously received assistance at the former Humanitarian Arrival Center at Engerthstraße 267, Sport & Fun Hall, will temporarily receive assistance from the Train of Hope organization at the new center.
We will remind you! Refugees from Ukraine who found refuge in Austria will be paid a one-time benefit due to the increase in the cost of living. This means that each adult can receive €500 (€250 climate bonus and €250 crisis bonus) and each child €250. Details at the link.
