The legislator assumes that unemployed young adults under 25 are financially supported by their parents. If this is not the case, the children - as a part of the community of need - have a claim to fraternity allowance. For under 25-year-old children in the community of need, a first move out of the parental home is therefore only possible under certain conditions. Required is a Approval from the team PEA (examination first move) from the youth vocational house, if you want that the costs for the new apartment are taken over by the Jobcenter. In addition, Team PEA will advise you on how the current housing situation can be improved.Even if you permanently pay the rent for the new apartment yourself, parents should contact the Jobcenter to notify the change in the community of need.If under-25s move out of the parental home without permission, the costs of the move and the rent for the new apartment will not be covered by the Jobcenter..

With your own strengths to the goal: That is the motto in the "Wendepunkt" program. People who have been unemployed for several years and receive benefits from the job center (so-called long-term unemployed) are supported by the "Wendepunkt" team in finding a suitable employment opportunity. At eye level and in a trusting atmosphere, you and your intensive support worker uncover your as yet unused strengths and skills and together develop strategies for taking up a job. On this basis, your intensive care worker will look for a suitable employment opportunity for you. Through the Participation Opportunities Act, employers can be financially supported in the process of hiring you. By the way, the support at "Wendepunkt" does not stop as soon as you have found a suitable job. A qualified job coach accompanies you up to 12 months in your new job and helps you to master the transition between unemployment and job well.You have interest in the program turning point to participate? Your responsible counseling specialist at the Jobcenter Dortmund will be happy to advise you on this. You are an employer and want to give a long-term unemployed person the chance of employment?

In certain situations, the Jobcenter can grant one-time subsidies for housing needs. Such occasions can be, for example, the establishment of a first household or the case of an apartment fire. We will be happy to advise you on your individual case!

One-time grants for housing needs

Under certain circumstances, the Jobcenter can financially support the necessary purchase of a car. A car purchase may become necessary in the context of taking up employment: For example, if an employer agrees to hire you - on condition that you have your own car - or if you demonstrably cannot get to your new job without your own vehicle. In such cases, the Job Center may consider assuming the costs. Important; please contact your personal counseling specialist (e.g. employment agency, case manager) and talk to them about your plans - absolutely before you purchase the car. It is a benefit from the so-called "placement budget" - a legal claim to it does not exist. For more information, please contact your responsible counseling specialist at the job center.

Rent arrears can cause you considerable difficulties as a benefit recipient. Many landlords do not tolerate any delays in payment and can terminate your apartment in such cases. If there are problems with the payment of your rent, we strongly advise you to contact us as soon as possible. In order to avoid a possible threat of homelessness, the Jobcenter may be able to take over existing or arising rent debts as a loan. However, you must apply for the Jobcenter to take over your rent debt. As a rule, it is only taken over if this is justified and, for example, the loss of housing is imminent. It is also important for the takeover that the living space <a href="https://jobcenterdortmund.de/de/articles/miete-heiz-betriebskosten">is appropriate</a>.
