Description
In Styria, the continuously open grant funding is aimed at non-profit private child and youth welfare institutions with a written service contract with the Styrian State Government, Department 11 – Social Affairs. Within the thematic focuses of Social Affairs, Children and Youth, as well as Work & Social Affairs, the program enables temporary foster care placement for children and adolescents aged 0 to 12 years (in justified individual cases up to 14 years), whose well-being in their family of origin is at risk. A foster family is supported by a family-accompanying caregiver to relieve the foster carers and provide the young people with a stabilizing environment.
The goal is to calm and stabilize the children or adolescents and to specifically support the family of origin in order to enable reintegration within a maximum period of 12 months. Prerequisites, in addition to the risk situation, include the prospect of reintegration into the original living environment and the willingness of the legal guardians to cooperate with all involved parties. Applications can be submitted at any time. The funding supports, over a funding period of up to 12 months, a cooperative care approach that opens up sustainable changes in the upbringing situation and long-term perspectives for the affected families.
