from On The Way Home
What happens when Canadian housing leaders step inside a system that has effectively ended chronic homelessness? In this episode of On the Way Home, Mohamed Abdallah and Carolina Ibarra share reflections from the 2025 Helsinki Study Tour, exploring Finland’s coordinated Housing First approach, integrated supportive services, and long-term political commitment to housing as infrastructure. Through personal moments, policy insights, and practical observations, the conversation examines what truly sets Finland apart, and what lessons are most transferable to the Canadian context as we work toward more coordinated, humane, and effective housing systems.
