(58,785 posts)Why not read about the many different kinds of housing programs for the homeless here in the U.S.? Many wonderful people make it their life's work and know a lot, articles discussing what works and doesn't literally every day in journals.
Fwiw, we're a far larger nation than Finland, and even if at some magic point we got "a house" for everyone, the next day tens of thousands of newly homeless in tens of thousands of places across the nation would need help. Plus, some dysfunctional people can get along living alone but also need consistent help with more than housing to be able to continue.
This is not a problem with a solution, and it's one that gets bigger with population growth and new national emergencies, but we can do what we find works well both more efficiently and for a lot more people who want it.
Vote Democratic religiously at all levels of government if you believe we should and to make that possible, of course.
