Wohnplattform

What Wohnplattform does

Wohnplattform Steiermark is a non-profit association (Gemeinnütziger Verein, ZVR 644386472) headquartered in Graz, Austria, that delivers social-psychiatric supported housing for people with mental illness across the Styria region. Its service portfolio spans Betreutes Wohnen (assisted living in small, community-integrated facilities), Mobile Wohnbetreuung (mobile psychiatric support for clients in their own apartments), Wohnungslosenarbeit (homelessness support), Betreutes Wohnen mit Kind (full-time care for single parents with mental illness and their children, with four dedicated family apartments in Graz), and a Krisenwohnung (crisis apartment) service. The organization operates through first-contact offices (Erstinfostellen) in Graz and Kapfenberg and runs a small team of 9 employees supported by professional staff with social-psychiatric expertise.

The underlying delivery model is human-led care: clients are housed in small, intentionally non-institutional apartments located "mitten im sozialen Leben der Gemeinde" (in the middle of community life), with residents using ordinary local amenities. The organization provides in-house technical services for housing adaptation, maintenance, and furnishing. There is no proprietary technology platform, no digital product, and no AI component; the "technology" is the operational method and clinical workforce.

The business model is a hybrid social-services funding structure. Care costs are reimbursed via Tagessätze (daily rates) under the Steiermärkisches Behindertengesetz (Styrian Disability Act), with parallel funding from Land Steiermark (Soziales, Arbeit und Integration), Gesundheitsfonds Steiermark, Stadt Graz, Bundesministerium für Soziales, and Bundesministerium Justiz. Residents separately pay rent and living costs. Top-of-funnel demand comes primarily from referrals by partner organizations (CARITAS, Hilfswerk, Pro Mente, NEUSTART, Wohnschirm, VinziWerke) and walk-in inquiries at the information offices, rather than commercial marketing.

Revenue model

1. Government-funded care services: Care costs are funded through daily rates (Tagessätze) under the Steiermärkisches Behindertengesetz (Styrian Disability Act). Housing and living costs are paid by the residents themselves. This represents a social services model where government funding covers the care component while residents cover their own living expenses.
2. Residential rental income: Residents pay rent and living costs for their housing units. The organization provides fully furnished apartments integrated into regular community settings.
