Funding for Outpatient Care Services

This program targets non-profit organizations and public institutions in Baden-Württemberg that offer support measures before and during care, as well as in the field of family and village assistance. The goal is to relieve caregivers and enable people in need of assistance to live independently in their home environment.

The program funds various measures and projects in the field of outpatient care and support, especially volunteer-based offers, self-help, and family and village assistance services. The aim is to relieve caregivers and prevent care dependency.

Funding is provided as project funding in the form of grants. The amount of the grant varies depending on the type of measure and can be awarded as a fixed amount per year or as an amount per hour of service.

To receive funding, applicants must meet certain requirements, such as notifying their catchment area, ensuring further training for staff, and charging appropriate fees. Regulations on self-contribution and the exclusion of multiple funding also apply.

Applications for funding must be submitted in writing or electronically via the responsible city or district to the Regional Council (Regierungspräsidium). There are specific deadlines for initial and recurring applications.

The funding program is primarily based on the administrative regulation of the Ministry of Social Affairs for the promotion of outpatient assistance (VwV-Ambulante Hilfen) and the State Care Structure Act, as well as relevant paragraphs of the Social Code.
