Dar Leopoldo

Service Description

Dar Patri Leopoldo is a homeless residential shelter for adult men in need of temporary accommodation due to being homeless because of various social difficulties. The aim of our service is to give individuals who are sleeping rough or couch surfing a dignified and safe accommodation while also providing the opportunity for these individuals to work with a professional multi-disciplinary team on a plan that would eventually lead them to being fully and independently integrated into society.

At Dar Leopoldo, we offer a safe, secure, and calm environment where residents can regain their sense of dignity and self-worth. This peaceful accommodation helps them develop skills to tackle life’s challenges with the ultimate goal of enhancing their quality of life.
