🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 HOUSING FIRST!

In 2008, Finland abandoned traditional temporary shelter networks and adopted a revolutionary social model known as "Housing First." Under this approach, unhoused individuals are immediately provided with permanent rental apartments and secure housing contracts without requiring them to complete sobriety programs or secure employment beforehand.

Once individuals have a safe, permanent roof over their heads, social workers and healthcare staff provide tailored ongoing support to help them stabilize their lives. The strategy turned Finland into a global pioneer where long-term homelessness falls consistently year after year, demonstrating that securing stable housing first provides the necessary foundation for personal recovery and long-term stability.

Inspired by the “Miami model” in Florida — where Miami-Dade County has been diverting nonviolent people with mental illness away from jails and into mental health facilities — Utah state, city and county leaders are taking the next steps to put a plan into action.

Did you know for the last THREE MONTHS a homeless resource officer part of a Police Department in a city in Salt Lake County has been distributing our ID vouchers on the spot to unsheltered folks he encounters on his rounds?!? 😱❤️🙌🏽

His superiors haven’t given us permission to publicize his valuable work hence we’ve removed all identifiable characteristics from this photo.

But this is HUGE!

For someone living on the streets, an ID can mean the difference between being locked out of society and having a path back in. An ID is needed to apply for housing, get a job, access benefits, open a bank account, receive medical care, enter treatment, and replace other vital documents. Yet obtaining one without an address, transportation, money, or supporting paperwork can be incredibly difficult.

By carrying Nomad Alliance ID vouchers and distributing them directly during his rounds, this officer is removing one of those barriers on the spot. What may seem like a simple voucher can become the first step toward housing, employment, recovery, stability, and ultimately a life off the streets.

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Now let’s see if other PDs in Salt Lake County see this officer’s incredible example and facilitate their homeless resources officers to follow suit! We can only hope!

(Here’s looking at YOU SLCPD!)

PS — and yes of course we had to give him our Nomad Calendar as a thank you. 🙂

👉👉Please comment, love react, and share to spread the word of this goodness! ❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽

With what conscience are you criminalizing poverty?!?!

Finland changed the order of the question.

Instead of asking homeless people to solve every problem before receiving a permanent home, the country began by giving them a stable place to live.

The idea became known as Housing First.

Under the older staircase model, a person might move through emergency shelters, temporary accommodation, treatment programs, and strict conditions before being considered ready for an apartment.

But life on the street makes almost everything harder.

Keeping appointments is harder.

Recovering from illness is harder.

Finding work is harder.

Sleeping safely, storing documents, taking medication, and rebuilding relationships can become daily battles.

Finland treated housing as the starting point rather than the final prize.

Apartments were provided with normal rental agreements, while support workers remained available for people dealing with addiction, mental health challenges, debt, unemployment, or the long emotional aftermath of homelessness.

Former shelters were converted into permanent homes.

Cities, national agencies, charities, and nonprofit housing providers worked together to create more affordable places to live and prevent people from losing housing in the first place.

The results drew international attention as long-term homelessness fell and many residents were able to keep their homes.

The approach also recognized something practical.

Repeated emergency care, policing, shelters, and crisis services can cost more than stable housing combined with support.

A key does not solve every problem the moment it turns in a lock.

But it gives a person a door to close, an address to use, a bed to return to, and enough stability to begin solving the next problem.

Sometimes the foundation for rebuilding a life is exactly that.

A foundation.

Please catch our Executive Director Kseniya on Fox13 News at 5pm on the proposed (and for now, tabled) ordinance banning people living in vehicles and our solution presented to the Salt Lake City Council: safe parking sites.

Apparently some individuals have complained about a motorhome parked on their street for many days. Catch our reply at 5!
