Integrative Housing Project in Hattersheim Combines Disability Care with Daycare
The Schlockerhof in Hattersheim, Germany, has launched an innovative integrative housing project that combines residential facilities for people with disabilities with a daycare center under one roof. Operated by the Evangelical Association for Inner Mission (Evim), the new building offers residents, such as Vera Remy and Michelle Pfeifer, shared apartments or individual units designed to maximize privacy and personal expression. The facility aims to support individuals with various disabilities, providing vocational training in attached workshops like a bakery and garden center, while guaranteeing lifelong accommodation. A key feature of the concept is the integration of a daycare center, which recently moved from temporary containers into the new structure. The daycare includes mixed-age groups and new crèche sections, fostering an environment where children and residents coexist. Proponents argue that this setup promotes social inclusion and mutual learning, with children helping each other and residents benefiting from the lively yet structured atmosphere. The project emphasizes autonomy for residents, allowing them to personalize their spaces and enjoy private retreats, while also engaging with the broader community through the shared facility.
