Can a Bfd transfer from one deployment location to another, but what if the federal government freezes its budget in 2024 and there is no money despite there being places in Berlin?

A very sensitive topic. It concerns a friend of mine. She has Algerian citizenship and is originally from Algeria. She now lives with me in Berlin and is completing a Federal Volunteer Service (BFD) as a prerequisite for obtaining a residence permit in Germany. It began on July 1, 2024, and the residence permit is valid until July 31, 2025. That means exactly 12 months for the Federal Volunteer Service (BFD) and one additional month to subsequently begin a training program, which is required.

Now she wants to change her placement because she no longer wants to work there. She resigned from her placement outside of her probationary period. She thinks, great, she's found another new placement, signed a new contract and sent it to the employer, resigned from her old placement, the Federal Ministry has to sign it, it's not really a problem…

Only then came the bad news:

The federal government's 2024 budget has imposed a budget freeze, which, simply put, means that the federal government has turned off the power to all agencies that manage the deployment sites, shutting off the tap, and no more money is flowing…

And the problem is that the central deployment centers know it, the advisors know it, the federal budget knows it, the federal ministry knows it, but the deployment centers themselves don't know it, and neither do the federal volunteers themselves.

We only learned from our consultant over the phone that the new contract would not be concluded due to the budget freeze.

End of the story:

Despite the vacancy, this position cannot be filled because, as already mentioned, there is no more money available.

So what do you do? You've been fired, and the new employment contract you signed for the new placement is invalid because the sponsors—the Federal Ministry, Caritas, the German Red Cross, etc.—won't sign it and can't because of this budget freeze.

So to my question:

What else can she do?

Her BFD contract ends on November 15, 2024, with a notice period, and she should actually have been able to start her new placement on November 16, 2024, with a seamless transition to a BFD, if it weren't for this budget freeze.

And when that day comes, there's the problem with her residence permit. Will it end automatically? Should she leave Germany immediately? Should we write to Lea at the immigration office in Berlin? She's afraid she'll have to leave Germany if she doesn't find a place in the Federal Volunteer Service on November 16th. There is one, but it won't be available until December.

What can she do to avoid losing her residence permit and find another place for Federal Voluntary Service despite the budget freeze?

Thanks in advance.
