Service Description
The ESF Plus federal program promotes projects that improve the living conditions and social integration of particularly disadvantaged people.
The Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS) supports projects for particularly disadvantaged people in your organization with a funding programme.
The federal program "Eingliederung hilft gegen Ausgrenzung der am stärksten benachteiligten Personen" (EhAP Plus) is aimed at the following 2 target groups:
- Target group 1: particularly disadvantaged newly arrived citizens of the European Union (EU) and their children under the age of 18, as well as members of minorities (such as marginalized communities like the Roma)
- Target group 2: Homeless people or people at risk of homelessness and their children under the age of 18
The following individual objectives are supported in the EhAP Plus program:
- Individual objective 1: Approaching, advising and accompanying people from target group 1 to further help services.
- Individual objective 2: Approaching, advising and accompanying people from target group 2 to further help services.
- Individual objective 3: Raising awareness and intercultural training in relation to the life situations and needs of the target groups and on the topics of antiziganism and anti-discrimination. This is aimed in particular at employees of public administrations, institutions of the regular assistance system and local social work organizations.
Your project must focus either solely on individual objective 1 or 2 or on both individual objectives. You can supplement activities from individual objective 3 in each case.
The BMAS will also support you if you set up a low-threshold pilot project on the help available in digital or social media as a supplementary measure. This pilot project should also counteract false reports in social media. It must be geared towards the individual objectives 1 and 2. The pilot project will only be funded once for 4 years and has started its work on 01.10.2022.
