With the “Wohnen für Hilfe” (Housing for help) project, we are promoting a special form of shared living in cooperation with the Caritasverband Koblenz e. V. (Caritas Association Koblenz): housing partnerships that go beyond the usual shared flat life.
The idea behind "Wohnen für Hilfe"
The idea behind "Wohnen für Hilfe" is very simple: people who have free living space in their flat or house offer students a roof over their heads - rent-free! In return, the students support and help with smaller everyday tasks. The students pay the additional costs themselves.
The rule of thumb is: one hour of help per month per square metre of living space.
Care services are excluded, but otherwise anything the two flatmates agree on is possible: Shopping, housework and gardening, socialising, housekeeping and much more.
All information about "Wohnen für Hilfe", the application form and contact details can be found on the website of Caritasverband Koblenz e. V. You can find current housing offers from "Wohnen für Hilfe" in our housing exchange!
