Tilattomien

Tilattomien is a Finnish term that translates to "those without a place" or "the homeless." It refers to individuals experiencing homelessness in Finland, a situation that encompasses a range of living conditions from sleeping rough to residing in temporary shelters or institutions without a permanent home.

Homelessness in Finland is a complex social issue with various contributing factors, including economic hardship, mental health issues, substance abuse, and relationship breakdowns. Finnish society has made significant efforts to address homelessness, with a particular focus on the "Housing First" principle, which prioritizes providing immediate, unconditional housing to homeless individuals. This approach aims to stabilize their lives, making it easier to address other underlying issues.

The Finnish model for tackling homelessness has gained international recognition for its success in reducing the number of people experiencing homelessness. While the problem is not entirely eradicated, the country has demonstrated that a proactive and housing-centered strategy can lead to substantial improvements in the lives of those affected. Data on homelessness is collected and analyzed to understand trends and tailor support services. The aim is to ensure that everyone in Finland has access to a safe and stable place to live.
