Quebec City looks to Finland’s successful approach to ending homelessness: '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 said. Giving people an apartment leads to improved health, less drug and alcohol use, he said, and increases the chance that people will find jobs. Once someone is given a home, he said, there are teams that ensure they receive the care and support required. There were 18,000 people experiencing homelessness in Finland when the country first launched its effort to tackle the issue back in 1987. At the end of 2022, the figure had dropped to 3,686 in the country of 5.5 million, though only 492 spent the night outside.  In Quebec, 10,000 people were experiencing visible homelessness in October 2022 — the last time the provincial government counted — an increase of 44 per cent since 2018.' #PWDrising #OW #PWD #ODSP #DERB #AISH #said #MAiD #cdnpoli #disability #neurodiverse #Neurodivergent #odspoverty #PWDallies #humanrights #un_enable #canpoli #follow #retweet #ontario #canada #disabilitytwitter #ableism #poverty #homelessness #hunger #canadiandisabilitybenefit
