The Finnish model is simple, he said: give people quality, permanent housing before attempting to address other issues — such as alcohol and drug use, or mental health problems — or helping people find jobs “That’s really the fundamental idea of our policy, if we give people a home, there will be very positive side-effects,” Vartiainen sai
