For years, the number of homeless people has been rising in Europe. But not in Finland. The country's Housing First program aims to eliminate the problem by 2027. But how?

    So, can I just go to Finland and be not homeless? what is the limitation to their hospitality?

      The article addresses immigration if that’s what you’re alluding to.

        Not really. It mentions that Finland is a very low immigration country, but it doesn’t state whether the benefits apply to migrants, legal or illegal

          They don’t afaik unless you’re a legal immigrant. If you’re ilegal they will try to get you home.

      Shouldn’t that be the default everywhere though?

        I wish. Socialized health care (including mental health and addiction recovery) would solve so many problems in the U.S.

          That’s socialism though. Wouldn’t want to help people.
