Finland is ending homelessness, so could we do it here too?

  • Summary

  • At least 120-thousand people are experiencing homelessness in any given night in Australia. And this isn't a problem that only we are facing, with many countries around the globe struggling to tackle the homelessness issue.

    However, this isn’t the case in Finland.

    In their capital, Helsinki, the government aims to end homelessness – or get it down to where becoming homeless is likely to be very temporary for most people – by 2025.

    So how are they doing this? And could Australia learn from what they’re doing right?

    On this episode, Bension Siebert speaks with Juha Kahila, Head of International Affairs at the Y-Foundation, as he joins us from Finland.
