Description

In the third episode of 'Making a house a home' we turn our spotlight to Housing First. Why is this probably the best way to fight homelessness?

Samara Jones from FEANTSA, Programme Coordinator of the Housing First Europe Hub provides us with an insider’s view on this innovative approach.

How is it working in Flanders? Where do they draw their inspiration from?
