It’s here!! We've just released the first two parts of our new series, Who Does It Best? At a time when so many people feel their governments aren’t taking care of them, we asked: how do policies really shape our daily lives? And who’s getting it right? www.europeanspodcast.com/who-does-it-...

So perhaps the question is no longer “Can we end homelessness?” but “What’s keeping us from doing what we already know is right?” #endgomelessness

Housing First needs prevention to turn individual success stories into population-level impact. Prevention needs Housing First to show people that homelessness is not inevitable. One strategy. One budget. One goal: Home for all. #endhomelessness

Homelessness is not inevitable, it's a policy choice. Listen to the latest episode of #PUSHBACKTalks with @juhakahila.bsky.social to hear how Finland drastically reduced homelessness while governments around the world say it's not possible.

It was great to visit Stockholm Stadsmission and see the affordable apartment building that has been heavily inspired by Y-Foundation. Anything is possible when you lead with an example. Amazing work👏 #endhomelessness

We need more affordable housing - meaning that some of it is also targeted for homeless people. Housing First can get people off the streets but can't do it, if it is missing the essential part....(affordable) housing. #endhomelessness www.kuow.org/stories/hous...

Homelessness continues to get worse. Should Seattle, and the U.S., still embrace 'Housing First'?

Housing First grew from a fringe practice in cities like Seattle to the U.S.'s guiding philosophy for homelessness response. As President-elect Trump prepares to take office, all that could change.

We have the papers, strategies, visions and plans on how to end homelessness. Now we need to back those words with action. And realize that at first it will need extra funding. Because at the end of the day, only action will end homelessness. #endhomelessness #housingfirst

So this is a little weird, we know what solves homelessness and this only seems to more or less restore elements of the benefits system long since cut away, which will help, but social housing and an integrated preventative Housing First strategy is essential www.theguardian.com/society/2024...
