Mændenes Hjem, Social support center in Vesterbro, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Mændenes Hjem is a facility in Copenhagen's Vesterbro neighborhood that provides emergency shelter, permanent housing options, and healthcare services for people in need. The different departments are located on several floors and include areas for medical care, accommodation, and daily support.
The facility was founded in 1910 and received its current building in 1961, designed to meet the growing needs of the neighborhood. Since then, it has developed into a major point of contact for social and health support in Copenhagen.
The center operates on principles of direct accessibility, allowing individuals to receive immediate assistance without complex referral procedures or documentation requirements.
Visitors find meals, safe overnight accommodation, and housing advice all in one location. It is best to come during the day when most services are available and the facility is most active.
The facility operates specialized rooms for safer consumption and Café Klare, a nighttime shelter exclusively for women seeking protection. These two services show a particular approach to caring for the most vulnerable groups.
