H-Team E.V.

What H-Team E.V. does

H-Team E.V. is a registered charitable (gemeinnützig) and welfare (mildtätig) association founded on July 28, 1990 in Munich's Sendling district, operating under German tax law (Abgabenordnung §§52-54). The organization provides an integrated network of social welfare services to Munich residents who are economically disadvantaged, mentally ill, minors in difficult circumstances, migrants, or facing acute crises such as threatened homelessness, debt, or hoarding disorder. Core programs include outpatient housing assistance (Ambulante Wohnraumhilfe), the therapeutic residential project Haus Amara in Freising (7 beds), free legal advice, debt and insolvency counseling, the nationwide Messie-Hilfe-Telefon hotline, an officially recognized Schlichtungsstelle (mediation body under Bavarian law), and guardianship services for adults and unaccompanied minor refugees.

H-Team E.V. operates approximately 600 beneficiaries per month and has delivered nearly 5,000 free legal consultations since 2010 and 1,875 open social counseling consultations in 2023 alone. The organization maintains no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is conducted through face-to-face counseling at headquarters, home visits, telephone helplines, and institutional referrals from courts, social services, and landlords. Specialized emergency funds (Soforthilfefonds, Feuerwehrfonds, Entschuldungsfonds, Energiehilfefonds) provide rapid unbureaucratic assistance, reflecting the organization's motto 'Schnelle Hilfe ist doppelte Hilfe.'

The organization's revenue model is multi-stream: municipal and state funding (Landeshauptstadt München for legal advice, Betreuungsverein, and Schuldenprävention), foundation grants (Robert-Vogel-Stiftung, Tribute to Bambi Stiftung, Stiftung Soziales München), individual donations and testamentary bequests, court-allocated fines (Bußgelder und Geldauflagen since 2017), and modest fees for training services (€120/hr for Messie-Syndrom training, €210+VAT for traveling exhibition rental). Go-to-market is community-led: services are free to qualifying beneficiaries (SGB II/XII welfare recipients), with referrals from courts, jobcenters, social services, and landlords. The organization employs a small professional team supplemented by volunteer lawyers and is governed by a three-member voluntary board (Vorstand: Peter Peschel, Antonia Sold, Oliver Förster).
