No it did not. Finland helped about half of the homeless people. And that’s a very generous estimate because it’s only those homeless people who are actually accounted for.

This is because they only select those who can be housed and are already part of the welfare system. It’s also not just putting people in an apartment. There is still a lot of drug and debt counseling and mental help provided in the background.

And that’s for the model country for the housing first approach.

Homelessness in Finland is bit different to most countries. You are counted as homeless even if you are living at friend’s place or in an institution.

There are only around 300 actual homeless people. Everyone is given a place to sleep and live at.
