Available capacity and occupancy in secure residential care

The Centre annually collects data on the secure residential care capacity that is available in residential facilities in Germany. A current overview can be found here[2]. If you wish to receive updates to this information, you can subscribe to the relevant mailing list here[3].

An online survey of the occupancy of these places was conducted for the first time in 2022, between August and October. All the facilities providing placements as defined in and governed by Section 1631b Subsection 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and Section 27 (in conjunction with Sections 34 and 35a) of Book VIII of the German Social Code (SGB) were surveyed for this purpose and asked to supply information on the structural characteristics of the relevant facility and on its occupancy in 2021.
