Finland's Housing First: A Radical Approach to Ending Homelessness
2025-03-06
Finland has dramatically reduced homelessness by implementing a 'Housing First' approach. This involves providing small apartments and counseling to those affected, without preconditions. Remarkably, 80% successfully reintegrate into stable lives, at a lower cost than the societal burden of homelessness. The success is attributed to a collaborative effort involving the government, NGOs like the Y-Foundation, and social workers, who provide ongoing support. This model offers a compelling solution for tackling homelessness globally.
