Prof. Kaakinen offered an analysis of how recent government decisions and broader neoliberal policy dynamics shape homelessness responses across Finland’s welfare counties. His insights on systemic resilience and local adaptation provided an analytical perspective that is rarely applied in homelessness research.
The event prompted thoughtful, in-depth questions, reflecting the relevance of the topic and the value of Prof. Kaakinen’s experience. Participants engaged actively in discussion, particularly on issues related to intersectoral collaboration, long-term homelessness policy, and the future of sustainable urban responses.
We thank Prof. Kaakinen for his contribution and all attendees for their engagement. The recording will be available on our website shortly.
