Landheim Brüttisellen

What Landheim Brüttisellen does

Landheim Brüttisellen is a non-profit social-pedagogical youth home operated by the Caspar Appenzeller-Stiftung and located in Bassersdorf-Baltenswil, Canton of Zurich, Switzerland. The institution serves male adolescents aged 15-22 (with ambulatory day care open to female youth) who cannot access vocational training in the open market due to behavioral, developmental, or social challenges. Services span three residential groups (fully supervised, accompanied living, and day care), a Trainings- & Orientierungswerkstatt, an internal school with German-as-second-language instruction, a psychiatric service, and a Care-Leaver/Jugendcoaching program for transition support. The integrated offering has a fixed capacity of approximately 22 residents plus 6 day-care placements and 6-8 T&O slots.

The operating model combines residential care with six in-house vocational training workshops (carpentry, metalworking, recycling, technical services, kitchen, and housekeeping) that double as production facilities for commercial customers. The organization issues federally recognized apprenticeships (EFZ, EBA), PrA practical training, and IV company apprenticeships. Workshops operate as both training environments and revenue-generating production units, with the recycling division licensed as a SWICO disassembly facility under Art. 17 VREG and the carpentry/metalworking units producing custom furniture, railings, gates, and other fabricated goods on a fee-for-service basis.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) cantonal and federal government per-diem payments for residential and ambulatory placements under formal legal measures (ZGB, StGB, IV), (2) commercial workshop revenue from carpentry, metalworking, and recycling customers (including the municipal Wertstoff-Sammelstelle for Bassersdorf), and (3) ancillary rental and catering activity around the Schwanensaal (currently suspended). The institution's customers are effectively government placing authorities (Jugendanwaltschaften, Jugendgerichte, Vormundschaftsbehörden, IV-Stellen), the municipality of Bassersdorf, and an unspecified base of workshop/recycling commercial clients. Over 2,400 young men have been trained since founding in 1874, and the institution is currently celebrating its 150th anniversary.

Revenue model

1. Youth Welfare Placement Revenue: Revenue is generated through government-funded placements of youth under child welfare orders. Costs are covered through cost agreements (Kostengutsprache) with placing authorities including juvenile prosecution offices, juvenile courts, guardianship authorities, and IV (disability insurance) regional offices. The institution receives per-diem rates for residential care as regulated by cantonal social service frameworks.
2. Commercial Workshop Services: Internal workshop operations (carpentry, metalworking, recycling) generate revenue through customer orders for furniture, metalwork, and disposal/recycling services. The recycling division operates as a licensed SWICO disassembly facility. Pricing is fee-for-service based on materials, labor hours, and disposal weights.
3. Hall Rental (Schwanensaal): The historic Schwanensaal hall was previously available for rental events, though currently no rentals are possible. This represents a potential revenue stream.
