In just over 3 months, Glasgow will host the Global Street Paper Summit.

Organised by the International Network of Street Papers at Glasgow Caledonian University between 1-3 September, this is an unparalleled opportunity for Scotland to connect to the rest of the world when it comes to addressing some of society’s most pressing social issues.

With the prevalence of poverty increasing in some parts of the world, now is the time for us to get together, think through solutions, and commit to actions.

However, to achieve our goals, we need some support from individuals and organisations, from sponsoring a delegate to hosting a dinner or breakfast to giving pro bono support.

Ruth Kanatser remembers sleeping in cars, grinding through day labor, and spending years trapped in motels because she and her husband could never quite save enough to get into an apartment. Today, she is the assistant director of the Harm Reduction Action Center (HRAC), a Denver-based organization that provides clean syringes, naloxone, fentanyl test strips, safer use supplies, and a range of support services to people who use drugs - all without judgement.

Finland used to be one of the leading countries in Europe for managing homelessness, and for a long time, homelessness in the country was falling. Finland even introduced the Housing First model around the world. But last year, the number of people without a permanent home rose for the second year in a row.

Paula Saikkonen, Research Manager at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, tells Finnish street paper Iso Numero that a well-functioning welfare state is the best remedy: https://www.insp.ngo/articles/news-story/the-noose-tightens-homelessness-continues-to-rise-in-finland
