Support in the upbringing of children and adolescents

In Salzburg, a continuously available grant opportunity is offered, aimed at both non-profit organizations and private individuals, covering the thematic area of “Social Affairs – Children and Youth – Work & Social Services.” The measure supports professionally supervised upbringing of minor children and adolescents within the home environment. This includes therapeutic outpatient family support, socio-pedagogical accompaniment, intensive family care, as well as individual support provided by recognized providers of independent child and youth welfare or qualified professionals under contract. The goal is to improve the individual living conditions of young people, strengthen their psychosocial development, and sustainably enhance the parenting skills of the entire family.

The funding is granted as a pure subsidy and can be applied for at any time with the responsible district administrative authority. Essential requirements include habitual residence in the state of Salzburg as well as the formal initiation of the procedure for educational assistance by the district administration. Required documents particularly include proof of the income situation of the person liable for maintenance to determine any possible cost contribution. The individual cost contribution is calculated based on the financial situation. The annual financial statement is subject to professional supervision to ensure transparent use of funds. This funding initiative creates tailored support services for families in challenging life phases and makes an important contribution to strengthening family resources.
