Mændenes Hjem, Social support center in Vesterbro, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
The center operates on principles of direct accessibility, allowing individuals to receive immediate assistance without complex referral procedures or documentation requirements.
