00:00Regarding the situation of the accommodation at Saalestraße 17 to 18 belonging to Mrs. Isau.
00:06And Mrs. Isau will get...
00:07Just a quick look, stay calm.
00:09You will receive the microphone.
00:15I did one thing.
00:25Ms. Isau now has the floor to answer your question.
00:30And no statements of approval or disapproval are permitted from the stands.
00:36Mrs. Isau.
00:38Beautiful good day.
00:40As a resident of Saalestraße, I am writing with great concern regarding the uncertain future of the accommodation on Saalestraße.
00:48In my view, the current situation jeopardizes the stability of the residents.
00:53I therefore request a statement from State Councillor Hannes Rehfeld, who is responsible for the crisis.
00:57Regarding the following points.
01:00With what arguments do you justify reducing the amount of urgently needed housing by imposing an inbound migration ban and relocating the departing residents to other accommodations?
01:08The upward stop currently effectively consolidates 55 A-sort positions.
01:14Question 2.
01:15Under what conditions will the current inbound ban be lifted, allowing the current residents, especially urinary persons, to remain in the accommodation during the legal proceedings?
01:25Thank you very much, Ms. Isau.
01:30And, on behalf of the City Councillor for Social Affairs and Health, Councillor Kringel answers.
01:37Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Isau.
01:40I will answer your resident's inquiry on behalf of the relevant office as follows, summarizing questions 1 and 2.
01:48Due to ongoing legal disputes between the operator and the regulatory authority responsible for accommodation and the relevant office, I ask for your understanding.
01:58that I cannot publicly disclose any information about the procedure and therefore also about the motives of the reference office at this time.
02:06At this point, I can only state that, from the perspective of the relevant office, there is no legal entitlement for businesses to regulatory allocations.
02:18For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the members of the Social Committee of the Neukölln Local Assembly of Berlin
02:27in a non-public part of the 38th session on November 5, 2025, they were informed in detail about the matter.
02:39State Councillor Rehfeld has also held several personal meetings with those affected in recent weeks.
02:46to alleviate existing worries and fears.
02:50Direct exchange was very important to him, as it not only provided insights into the individual situations of individuals,
02:57but also to clarify open questions and to respond immediately to individual needs
03:03and was able to contribute to an extended deadline for the move.
03:08Dear Ms. Isau, please be assured that your concern to protect the affected people from potential homelessness,
03:17is fully shared.
03:20Therefore, I can address your concerns by assuring you that none of the affected people will become involuntarily homeless again.
03:28Already with the decision not to make any further allocations to this regulatory accommodation,
03:35The State Councillor for Social Affairs has ordered the responsible colleagues in the Office for Social Affairs to
03:44that the existing allocations will only be revoked when
03:48when a new assignment to another suitable accommodation has been made.
03:53It is of particular importance to the colleagues and the district of Rehfeld to
04:00to find a solution that best meets the personal needs and circumstances of those affected.
04:08Given the special circumstances, for example, attention is paid to...
04:13that existing pets can be taken along within the usual limits.
04:18In many cases, the allocation of residents to other accommodations has already been successful.
04:25In individual cases, the assignment to a suitable alternative facility may be possible.
04:31However, due to special requirements, it may take some time.
04:36But I would also like to make it clear at this point,
04:39that it relates to Cologne with regard to the regulatory accommodation
04:44the significant dangers to legal interests, life and physical integrity
04:50which prevents people affected by involuntary homelessness.
04:55This is a measure to avert danger.
04:58and not about the permanent provision of housing.
05:02A right to be assigned to self-selected accommodation
05:07There is no such legal entitlement under current law.
05:12Thank you.
05:14Thank you very much, Mr. City Councillor.
05:16Ms. Isau has the opportunity to ask a question.
05:18They lie down.
05:19That brings us to the end of this question about population.
05:21and come to serial number 1.7.
05:23Resident inquiry regarding the accommodation situation
05:24Saale Street 17 to 18, belonging to Mr. Akinloje.
05:28Mr. Akinloje, please.
05:32Dear District Councillors,
05:39Thank you so much for allowing me to speak briefly.
05:42I would then like to address the topic of
05:44who had just spoken to Mrs. Isau.
05:47And that concerns question 1.
05:50What steps is the district office taking?
05:52to the owner of the property, HKS Wohnheime GmbH
05:56to encourage a collaboration with the non-profit operator
06:01to enable and actively support a change of operator?
06:06I believe the second question has already been asked.
06:10We submitted them independently of each other, so to speak.
06:12I'll repeat it anyway.
06:14Under what conditions will the current admissions freeze be lifted?
06:19so that the current residents, especially vulnerable people,
06:24Can I remain in my accommodation during the legal proceedings?
06:27Thank you.
06:30Thank you very much, Mr. Achtemoyer.
06:31Now to answer, finally ready again,
06:33City Councillor Klingel, representing the City Councillor for Social Affairs and Health.
06:39Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
06:42Dear IKOLONI,
06:43I will answer your residents' questions on behalf of the district office as follows.
06:47Regarding question 1.
06:49The Neutröllen district office has taken no steps.
06:52initiated with a view to a change of operator.
06:57A possibility of influencing the tenancy of the property
07:01The district office does not have it.
07:04The legal accommodation of involuntarily homeless people
07:08This is a city-wide task.
07:11All districts are bringing people involuntarily affected by homelessness.
07:15Citywide below.
07:17It is not the general task of the Neukölln district office,
07:23to create the necessary accommodation capacity.
07:27Against this background, the Neukölln district office
07:30He takes responsibility and fulfills it through consultation
07:33and targeted outreach to potential accommodation providers
07:37to provide suitable and meeting minimum requirements
07:40suitable accommodations.
07:43Such projects cannot always be carried out.
07:45to reconcile with planning law considerations.
07:49The district office supports the Senate's forum,
07:53Contractual accommodations for regulatory accommodation
07:56to create new spaces for involuntarily homeless people.
08:00Regarding question 2.
08:02At this point, I would also like to refer to the reply letter.
08:05from 3 December 2025 to their representatives at the district assemblies
08:10directed email dated November 30, 2025.
08:14Your email was forwarded to Mr. District Town of Regelfeld
08:17as the responsible district town for social affairs
08:20forwarded with a request for a response.
08:23As he has already made clear in his answer,
08:26The aim here is to help the people affected.
08:28to protect them from potential homelessness.
08:33Unrestricted and worthy of support.
08:36Therefore, he sent you the letter in question.
08:39already informed
08:41that he will not make any further allocations with the decision
08:43to the accommodation provided under public order law at Saale Straße 17,
08:48towards his colleagues
08:49ordered by the Office for Social Affairs,
08:51that the existing allocations will only be cleared up then,
08:54when an assignment to other suitable accommodation has been made.
08:58Against the background of the special situation
09:02Particular attention is paid to ensuring that
09:06that existing pets can be taken along within the usual limits.
09:10In many cases, the relocation to other accommodations has already been successful.
09:16At no time is there a risk of
09:18that persons previously placed under regulatory law
09:21They would be involuntarily homeless as a result of the district's measures.
09:26He also explained in his letter,
09:28that the Neukölln district office is responsible for the regulatory accommodation
09:32the significant dangers to the legal interests,
09:35Life and physical integrity
09:38which averts the suffering of people who are involuntarily homeless.
09:43This is a measure to avert danger.
09:45and not about the permanent provision of housing.
09:49A claim to regulatory allocation,
09:54According to current case law, this does not include self-selected accommodation.
10:00Finally, I must also mention them today due to an ongoing legal dispute.
10:05between the operators of the regulatory accommodation
10:09and ask the district office for their understanding
10:12that I cannot provide any further information on the proceedings at this time,
10:16regarding the legal position of the district office
10:18to avoid jeopardizing the ongoing legal dispute.
10:27Thank you very much, Mr. City Councillor.
10:30The person asking the question has the option to ask a follow-up question.
10:32Mr. Attenloje, please.
10:38And I ask that from the stands
10:44Expressions of agreement or disagreement, questions, or interjections are to be omitted.
10:48Thank you.
10:48Yes, thank you very much for answering the question.
10:52Especially regarding point 1, let me ask again as a counter-question or follow-up question.
10:56Since you are now involved in an ongoing procedure regarding the HKS
11:00and Sunshine House GmbH could say nothing
11:02Can you at least say which ones, and if it's already been done with other operators?
11:07Negotiations are underway regarding the takeover of HKS legitimacy.
11:12Thank you.
11:13Thank you.
11:15Mr. Ringel, City Councillor, is available to answer your questions.
11:17In principle, anything that comes up in the proceedings may be discussed in this process.
11:27No statements can be made that are relevant or can influence anything.
11:32because otherwise the legal position would be jeopardized.
11:34And in that sense, you will not be contacted by me, nor when Mr. Reefeld is permitted to do so.
11:42Of course I was informed then, but unfortunately, not beforehand.
11:46Thank you very much, Mr. City Councillor.
11:49We've now reached the end of the residents' question period and are moving on to item number 2.
11:56The person asking the question is welcome to continue following the session.
12:15But who can please get up from the stands?
12:17We will then come to the current half hour at the request of...
