Senator for Social Services Cansel Kiziltepe (SPD) announced: "We want to further expand this successful model in the coming years in order to help even more homeless people." In the coming budget, she said, significantly more money has been earmarked for this purpose than in previous years. "I now wish for many landlords to participate in Housing First as well, because the waiting lists are long." The Louise Schroeder Medal has been awarded since 1998 to personalities or institutions that have rendered services to democracy, peace, social justice and gender equality. The SPD politician Louise Schroeder (1887-1957) was mayor of Berlin from May 1947 to December 1948.
