Procedure details

The services of the supra-regional Open Work for the Disabled (OBA) represent an important building block in the overall care of people with specific disabilities. With the support of the Bavarian districts and the State Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, Family and Integration, the services pursue the principle of ensuring that people can lead as independent and autonomous a life as possible. The supra-regional OBA services are provided at a low threshold and are aimed at people who are significantly restricted in their ability to participate in society due to a specific disability within the meaning of Section 2 (1) SGB IX and their relatives.

The differences to the regional OBA are primarily due to the prevalence/frequency of the types of disability supported. Rare disabilities make specific services necessary on the one hand, but also allow them to be grouped together in larger regions on the other. There are separate care structures for people with mental illnesses or addictions.

With their services, the supra-regional OBA services contribute to the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD).

Purpose

The purpose of the funding is to guarantee low-threshold services to ensure participation for the above-mentioned group of people with their specific needs. In particular, the services should act as knowledge and information platforms for all needs arising from the specific disability and fulfill the tasks of the supra-regional services.

Recipients

of funding Recipients of funding from the Free State of Bavaria are the central associations of independent welfare organizations (central associations) as well as the other legally capable and non-profit associations operating at state level in Bavaria and the associations affiliated to these associations that represent people with disabilities and their interests (state associations) as well as other providers of OBA, provided they are not affiliated to a central association of independent welfare organizations or a state association.
The recipients of the funding from the districts are the individual providers of the aforementioned associations and organizations.
