Migration counseling centers
Migration counseling centers serve to support migrants in everyday life. Consultation in the public centers is free but limited in time. The centers answer questions about everyday problems and also help you with German language problems.
Note that there are different migration counseling centers for different target groups:
Migration counseling for adult migrants (MBE)
These centers are intended for newly arrived migrants with residence rights and naturalized citizens. There are many centers in almost all districts of Hamburg. Note that in many cases private entities stand behind the centers, in some cases also the Church. They help, for instance, in questions concerning housing or residence.
Youth migration services (JMD)
