RESET has just completed a research report on the model of multiprofessional mobile support in homelessness work, named Nopsajalka. The model was initially designed at the Faculty of Education and Culture, Tampere University in a Change Laboratory participatory process with the City of Tampere in 2019. Since 2020 the City of Jyväskylä has championed the implementation and further development of the model in ways that show extraordinary potential for future steps toward the Finnish Government goal of eradicating homelessness by 2027.
Further information:
- Research report in Finnish
- Media release of Tampere University on the research report in Finnish and in English.
- Reportof the “selvitysmies” Juha Kaakinen, former CEO of Y-Foundation, on the “Actions needed to eradicate homelessness by 2027” submitted to the Ministry of Environment on February 10. The report strongly endorses the Nopsajalka model and the research that led to it.
