Finland is the only country in the EU where homelessness has been decreasing. This small Nordic country is hailed as a model for homelessness work and Finnish expertise is in high demand. One of the factors behind Finland’s success is the Y-Foundation, who rents apartments to those who have experienced homelessness and people with low income. The Foundation’s human yet effective operating model on homelessness is internationally unique.
Home for all – How the Y-Foundation provides homes to those in need presents keys to success in the Foundation’s homelessness work. It also offers a sneak peek into the daily lives of people living in the Foundation’s rental apartments. This handbook is the Y-Foundation’s way of reaching out to everyone who is fighting against homelessness.
