The Hushu House opened on December the 5th in Amsterdam Zuidoost. Hushu stands for: Help Us Help U. This is a place where undocumented individuals can receive information and support. Various organizations in Amsterdam Zuidoost collaborate at Hushu House to warmly welcome visitors, listen to their stories, and answer questions about for example food, medical or legal help. They also provide support and refer people to other organizations when needed. Additionally, Hushu House offers warm showers, a space to do laundry, a quiet room, and courses. The Red Cross Amsterdam-Amstelland plays a coordinating role in this initiative. Do you enjoy being the first person to welcome visitors and being the gateway to our facilities?
