~ 60<\/h3>\n

employees<\/h4>\n

work daily in our student residences in Vienna, Graz, Salzburg, Klagenfurt, and Innsbruck.\n<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
<\/div>\n
\n

The foundation started with two usufructuary rights in Vienna and today has<\/p>\n

student residences all over Austria.\n<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
\n

\nAt the moment around\n<\/h4>\n\n

\nstudents are living in our student residences\n<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
\n
Non-Profit<\/div>\n\n
\n

We are a non-profit organization<\/h4>\n

That means we serve the common good, earnings flow back to our residents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\n<\/div>\n
\n

We are free of political influence.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n

The foundation is self-funded<\/h4>\n

There is no funding from the government or from private donors. Nothing at all \u2013 seriously<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n

With great power comes great responsibility.<\/h4>\n

\nEvery residence elects residence representatives who represent the interests of the residents. The chairperson of all the residence reps represents their interests in the board of trustees.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

We were founded by the Austrian Students\u2019 Union.\n<\/p>\n

\n\n<\/div>\n\n

On 9 July 1959 the first meeting of the board of trustees started the foundation\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Currently, 65% of our staff
are women and 35% are men \n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
\n
\n

\nThe highest organ of the foundation is the board of trustees<\/strong> \u2013 the executive organ is the management board\n<\/p>\n\n

\nThe composition of the board of trustees reflects a closeness to the university: 73% are members of the Austrian Students\u2019 Union<\/strong> (group numbers depending on the results of the Austrian Students\u2019 Union election), university professors<\/strong> and the others are various experts\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Student Housing Act<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In our headquarters there are two squirrels<\/h4>\n

which visit us regularly on the patio. Probably due to the nuts the employees generously put there ...<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Heimat bist du gro\u00dfer T\u00f6chter<\/h4>\n(Home to great daughters)<\/i>\n

\nIn the summer months four residences had been running until 2022 as AllYouNeed Hotels by a subsidiary, established for this purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
\n\n<\/div>\n
\n

Our headquarters is located in Vienna.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
