- “In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

- Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.
- I've been posting this for a year. Better is possible if only people care about other people.
- Finland understands how to run a govt. that benefits all their people.
- Just like providing healthcare to people lowers healthcare costs and keeps them working, paying bills, keeping their homes
- I can't agree more but our capitalist addicted economy doesn't care if it saves money only if it makes money. The homeless are an afterthought to the richest sickos running society, they simply don't care. As long as they make a buck it's all honky doory for them.
