BWF (Betreutes Wohnen in Familien) is an information platform dedicated to supported living with families, an alternative form of community living and support for adults with disabilities. Also known as accompanied living in families or living with host families, the model enables a person to live with a host family for an extended period or permanently. The family provides day-to-day support shaped around the resident’s individual needs, while a specialist service accompanies both the family and resident throughout the placement. The approach aims to foster stable relationships, personal wellbeing, independence and participation in community life outside residential institutions.

The bwf-info.de website helps people exploring this option, host families and professionals find clear, practical information. Its resources cover how the model works, guidance for prospective and current host families, its history, legal foundations, locations and contacts for regional BWF providers. The site also shares news, publications and details of professional conferences.
