This is REALLY important.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Let that sink in. It costs less than accepting homelessness.

Just in case anyone is interested, my late husband helped this organization, and they're doing great things. They started out just feeding people but have moved on to housing and job training, just a great organization.
