Successful Housing Project

The aim of the three-year Successful Housing Project is to establish networks, structures, and cooperation models in Helsinki and the West Uusimaa wellbeing services county to ensure secure housing for residents moving from or who have already moved out of supported housing units.

The target group for the project includes individuals with a history of homelessness who are moving from housing units into their own rental apartments or seeking rental housing through Y-Säätiö. The goal is to prevent residents from falling through the cracks in service provision, support them during the transition phase of housing, and ensure continuity in their housing as the welfare areas are established. Another aim is to strengthen the residents’ integration into their communities and provide meaningful activities for their daily lives.

The project involves developing and piloting mobile, personalized housing guidance and coaching that sits between the housing support and housing advice services offered by the city and the wellbeing service county. Additionally, the project will explore opportunities for utilizing digital services. The project is co-developed in collaboration with Y-Säätiö’s property management, housing advisory services, and rental operations.

The project is funded by STEA.
