Finland Solved Homelessness: Here's How (Spoiler: It's More Than Housing First) - vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=0jt_6PB…

Of course that helping human beings it is a good idea. It is astonishing that we even have to have these conversations. All humans should have access to their basic needs (at leas) as trade-free.

Invisible People | InvidiousFinland Solved Homelessness: Here's How (Spoiler: It's More Than Housing First)Finland's remarkable success in reducing homelessness is often credited to the innovative Housing First approach. This model offers stable housing as the primary intervention, complemented by essential support services to address the root causes of homelessness and help individuals rebuild their lives. Amid the escalating homelessness crisis in the United States, evidence-backed solutions like Housing First often take a back seat to counterproductive measures like criminalizing poverty and conducting homeless sweeps. While skeptics argue that Finland's achievements cannot be replicated in America, Invisible People embarked on a transformative journey to Helsinki, Finland, to explore the potential of implementing the Housing First approach on a large scale in the United States. What's even more striking is that Housing First was born in America. Yet, Finland has embraced it and witnessed an incredible reduction in homelessness, plummeting from over 20,000 homeless people to less than 4,000 in just a decade. Countless media outlets have highlighted Finland's achievements in homelessness reduction, with the Housing First model at the forefront. However, our investigation uncovered that the Finnish approach goes beyond Housing First. Finland's strategy involves prioritizing the development of affordable housing and cultivating a culture genuinely dedicated to improving homeless services to house people quickly and permanently. While Housing First has played a significant role in their success, it's just one piece of the puzzle. Unlike the United States, where the emphasis often lies solely on housing placement, Finland recognizes that people need more than just a roof over their heads to thrive. In Finland, they prioritize placing the individual within the housing unit, ensuring that they have a sense of purpose rather than merely survival. Invisible People is known for its dedication to telling the authentic stories of homelessness, offering viewers a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the lives of those experiencing it firsthand. In this special episode, we take our commitment to authenticity to the next level by providing the most genuine and comprehensive look into Housing First that has ever been captured on video. Our mission is to shed light on the realities of homelessness, challenge preconceptions, and explore viable solutions. Join us as we dive deep into Finland's remarkable approach, presenting an authentic narrative that showcases the transformative power of compassionate policies and affordable housing.

Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness. Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

A conversation about @peertube videos.trom.tf/w/3V6RdL2pMhRZQ… - and the awesome job they do with this video platform. Thank you for mentioning TROM and our, kinda, main goal. That was a nice surprise.

We provide an instance dedicated to science/technology/nature/activism in English with unlimited uploads - videos.trom.tf/home . We should strive next year to bring more creators to the platform.

Instead of fighting the old, let's create the new!

@peertube has released a new major version of their video platform software framablog.org/2023/11/28/peert… - these people are amazing and are making Peertube the best video platform software in the world.

We will try to get new creators to our instance videos.trom.tf from now on, because what we lack is content. Everyone flocks to Youtube because "everyone is there" and youtube allows them to make money off of their videos (a very bad incentive). Even the people who complain about how there is no online privacy anymore, and hate ads and data collection (basically hate these online trades and their side effects), are still in a bondage relationship with these monsters. They are enslaved to them. But they and us, have to find the willpower to ditch the old world and create the new one, be it online or offline.

Be brave people, have the guts, and prioritize Peertube over Youtube! Else we cannot change anything....

Framablog · PeerTube v6 is out, and powered by your ideas !It's #givingtuesday, so we're giving you PeerTube v6 today! PeerTube is the software we develop for creators, media, institutions, educators... to manage their own video platform, as an alternative to YouTube and Twitch. 🦆 VS 😈: Let's take back some ground from the tech giants! Thanks to your donations to our not-for-profit, Framasoft is taking...

Our next TROM big project will be a stuff sharing platform that uses the Activitypub protocol. So anyone can spin their own local sharing platform and connect with the rest. It is a long term plan, but we will try to do it. It is just an idea for now.... but the other TROM projects were ideas too.

TROM II: A Message to the Aliens (2023)

Ok people, the documentary is finally available. Please keep your expectations low and keep in mind that this documentary is made mostly by one human being, with limited resources. We have not used any stock footage (except maybe 2-3) so everything you'll see is real and genuine.

Also, keep in mind that this is not the beginning or the end of anything, but a continuation of our work for this TROM project. We will create more materials and projects.

Watch it here www.tromsite.com/documentaries…
Download it from here www.tromsite.com/save/

We hope this documentary can provide something valuable for you.

We have removed the Twitter connector from our TROM Social social.trom.tf now that Twitter blocks the accounts posting URLs from these alternative social platforms like the fediverse. See this.

The feature was not working properly anyway.

It is time for people to realize that these platforms like Twitter, Youtube, Facebook and the like, are not social platforms, but ad platforms, and that there are real alternatives out there. We have moved out TROM presence from the ad-platforms some 2 years ago to:

Friendica - social.trom.tf/profile/trom
Peertube - videos.trom.tf/c/trom/videos

Feel free to join us there and/or follow us. #tromlive
