About us
In compliance with the Federal Asylum Ordinance, the canton of Zug is allocated 1.5% of all asylum seekers in Switzerland. For more information, please refer to our latest publications.
Since 2009, the canton has been the central authority responsible for providing accommodation, care and funding for asylum seekers and refugees.
In order to carry out this task efficiently, the Asylum Social Services Department is organized into three divisions:
The Integration and Case Management section consists of the following six teams: Social Counselling 1 and 2, Administration of Integrated Case Management, Vocational Integration, Housing Support and Volunteer Coordination.
The section supports temporarily admitted persons and recognized refugees in their linguistic, vocational and social integration and provides guidance on issues related to living and coexistence. The coordination of volunteer assignments, which contribute to faster social integration, is also the responsibility of the Integration section.
The Accommodation and Care department ensures that all assigned persons have a roof over their heads, a bed to sleep in, and are cared for. This is organized decentrally in the canton's various cantonal accommodations.
The cantonal accommodations are supported by the real estate team, which is responsible for maintenance, as well as for the acquisition/examination of new properties.
Do you own a property and would like to rent it to the SDA for people in the asylum and refugee sector? Then please contact info.asyl@zg.ch.
Central Services is responsible for the support processes of the SDA. This includes the following topics: accounting, statistics, administration of social insurance, as well as the secretariat and reception area of the SDA.
