How Finland Ended Homelessness

The United States faces many problems. One of the most obvious is the growing number of Americans forced into homelessness every year. With economic conditions worsening, skyrocketing cost of living, and now a global pandemic to contend with, the problem of homelessness in the US is only getting worse. Finland represents a promising model on which the rest of the world could base their own homelessness mitigation programs. In this video, we're taking a look at what makes the Finnish approach so special, and what it could mean for the rest of the world. Hope you enjoy!

Hey, could u please add me to your discord?

Excatly, well said.

That's the point - encouraging private initiative in entrepreneurship and being human need not be contradictory.

Please stop giving me reasons to simp for nordic and finnoscandian countries, it's not healthy, they are still capitalist but I can't stop myself.

I was homeless at one point and still have to rent since housing is outrageously beyond me and the debt would be terrifying. Thanks for this. I think transitional housing has a lot of problems that repel homeless people in the first place and contribute to recidivism if they do enter it. A place to call your own is the foundation to build mental, spiritual and financial health.

Thank you so much for this amazing and well researched video! As someone who runs a Housing First program for veterans in Portland I absolutely agree with everything you presented. I hate the means testing of assistance and how little support services we have to help participants actually move forward. I can only provide so much help myself and we need much better supportive services. Ensuring human needs are not commodities to be sold and allowing those of us who do the work to be part of the decision making process would dramatically reduce Homelessness here in the US.
