Children and families
Öll þurfum við aðstoð annað slagið. Hvort sem það er við helstu verkefni dagsins eða til að vera betur í stakk búin til að taka þátt í samfélaginu. Börn og fjölskyldur þeirra geta fengið fjölbreyttan stuðning til að mæta þörfum vegna félagslegra aðstæðna, álags, veikinda eða fötlunar.

Homeless people
Það er mikilvægt að fólk fái stuðning til betra lífs þegar aðstæður þess eru krefjandi og flóknar. Reykjavíkurborg veitir margvíslegan stuðning til fólks sem er heimilislaust og glímir við vímuefnavanda eða geðrænan vanda. Stuðningur við heimilislaust fólk byggist á hugmyndafræðinni um Húsnæði fyrst og skaðaminnkun.
