Andy Burnham is betting on Finland’s homelessness model, but it may not be the answer Britain needs to tackle rough sleeping.
Finland’s Housing First model worked brilliantly at first, until a shortage of homes sent homelessness soaring again.
Andy Preston, chairman of CEO Sleepout, says Britain must build more homes before Burnham’s plan can succeed.

🔥NEW POD DROP🎤A Politician Who Gets It: Real Solutions to Homelessness youtu.be/y-CZIWzArms?si=Wlv3…
In this special episode, we bring you a compelling interview with Commissioner Irene Fernando [@HennepinD2], a trailblazing leader from Hennepin County [@Hennepin], Minnesota. While filming our documentary on how Hennepin County is reducing homelessness, we had an eye-opening conversation with Irene about the county's innovative and compassionate approach to solving homelessness. From eviction prevention to affordable housing and supportive services, Irene discusses the importance of building a community-wide system that addresses homelessness at every level.
This episode dives deep into why criminalizing homelessness doesn’t work and why long-term investments in housing and support systems are not only more humane but also more economically viable. Commissioner Fernando shares the county’s success in reducing homelessness and offers insight into how other communities can follow their lead.
Whether you're a policymaker, advocate, or just someone interested in real-world solutions to homelessness, this episode is a must-listen.
