For some time now, the refrigerated telephone Vienna has been accepting reports of people sleeping outdoors without shelter during the cold months. As part of the street work, social workers follow the instructions and look for the people and places mentioned. There they offer individual help and distribute sleeping bags, advise the people and if necessary bring them to one of the emergency quarters.
