Finland has almost no more homeless people, here is why This newspaper article has been published by the French newspaper “Ouest France” the 22nd of March 2018”. Finland has only 5.5 million inhabitants. But proportionally, this Scandinavian country has half as many homeless people as France. How is that possible? Since 2008, his Government had been implementing the "Housing First" programme. It is based on two main ideas: building social housing and reserving it for the homeless as a priority. According to the latest statistics, Finland is the only country in Europe to have succeeded in reducing the number of homeless people year after year. From 18,000 homeless ten years ago, the country has fallen to less than 7,000 today, or 0.14% of the population. France now has 142,000 homeless people, or 0.21% of its population. https://www.ouest-france.fr/leditiondusoir/data/22016/reader/reader.html#!preferred/1/package/22016/pub/31843/page/4

Each building then acquired a collective sauna, before the apartments were equipped with private facilities. Today, the country of 5.4 million inhabitants has more than two million inhabitants. "When I was a child, my building held a weekly session for women and then for men. Each family then had one hour reserved. I used to go with my mother every Saturday at 4pm," the photographer recalls. We meet him with family and friends. Any celebration is an opportunity to enjoy a good heat bath: Christmas, S...
