The document summarizes Helsinki's responses to irregular immigrants. It notes that 620,000 people live in Helsinki, including 75,500 born abroad and 78,500 who speak a non-Finnish or Swedish language. Helsinki has provided various social and health services to irregular immigrants over the years, including 24/7 emergency social services since 2007, food banks since the early 1990s, and the Hirundo Day Center for beggars. More recently since 2013, services have included emergency health care, prenatal care, vaccination programs, and living allowances from social services in emergency cases. Child welfare services also assess and provide open or custodial care to children as needed.
The document summarizes the key findings of the 2017 report "The State of Housing in the EU" published by Housing Europe. It finds that while economic growth has returned to Europe, inequality is increasing and many are being left behind. Housing markets are recovering but prices are growing faster than incomes in most countries. The crisis exacerbated housing exclusion and homelessness, while policy responses have been largely inadequate. Cities are developing innovative solutions to address affordable housing challenges with limited national support.
The document discusses Ghent's policies and responses to irregular migrants. It notes that as of 2013, there were 2,443 medical cards issued to irregular migrants by the city's Public Social Welfare organization. Ghent aims to balance a policy of solidarity and integration with one of enforcement against abuse. The city has established various administrative bodies like a Permanent Consultation Committee and Integration Service to coordinate services for migrants and enhance social cohesion. The Info Point Migration provides legal information and translations to over 7,000 individuals annually from 140 nationalities. Neighborhood stewards help address complaints and act as bridges between agencies and new EU citizens.
This document discusses topics around social housing in Europe. It addresses issues like affordability, mobility, demographics, and financing social housing. It notes that over 1.3 million asylum seekers came to Europe in 2015. Inequality in housing is increasing, with housing costs disproportionately burdening low-income tenants. Affordable housing shortages, empty homes, high construction costs, and obstacles to credit are ongoing problems. Cities struggle with increasing housing prices that push people out. Innovative solutions are needed to provide permanent, decent and affordable housing connected to opportunities.

The document summarizes a discussion on precarious housing among migrant communities in Toronto. It discusses Finland's national program to reduce long-term homelessness, which transformed shelters into supported housing units. It also describes a study on homelessness among immigrants in Helsinki that found the largest immigrant groups experiencing homelessness were from Somalia, Estonia, and Russia, often single mothers with children. Common reasons for immigrant homelessness included unemployment, high housing costs, eviction, and family or health problems.
This document discusses the City Initiative on Migrants with Irregular Status in Europe (CMISE) project. CMISE is a collaboration between 11 European cities working to improve services for undocumented migrants. The project is facilitated by the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) at the University of Oxford. Through working groups and research, CMISE aims to develop best practices on service provision, produce guidance for municipalities, and inform European policy on irregular migration.

Wales Migration Partnership - going the extra milewalescva
This document provides an overview of international migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees in Wales. It notes that while immigration is non-devolved, the Welsh government has responsibilities for these groups in areas like housing, health, education and community cohesion. Key points include that Wales receives 8% of UK asylum seekers, the largest numbers come from Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and Nigeria. Poland is the largest foreign-born group in Wales. International students contribute over £230 million annually to Wales' economy. The impacts of increased migration from Romania and Bulgaria after 2013 restrictions lift are difficult to predict accurately.
The document summarizes the European Investment Bank's (EIB) support for integrating cities and refugees through lending, blending, and advising. Since 2014, the EIB has financed 15 projects related to migrant/refugee accommodation and social infrastructure in Germany and Southern Europe. Eligible sectors for EIB lending include housing, shelter, infrastructure, emergency response, and technical assistance. The EIB also supports youth employment, resilience initiatives, and the EU Urban Agenda partnership on migrant inclusion. Cities face challenges financing integration work due to high competition, complex governance, and burdensome administrative procedures for EU funds. An Inclusion Blending Facility could help by blending EU grants and loans to provide direct funding and synergies.

The document describes three projects and initiatives related to migrant integration:
1) CITIES GROW is a city-to-city support project running from 2017-2019 that aims to improve migrant integration policies through concrete actions in 16 EU cities.
2) D4I is a data challenge using a unique EU dataset on migrant communities in cities to foster research on local integration aspects.
3) Munich's Masterplan for refugee integration focuses on questions around empowering refugees from day one through education, housing, and community participation.
Changing Housing Systems and the Risks for Social ExclusionFEANTSA
This document summarizes a presentation given at the 9th European Research Conference on Homelessness in Times of Crisis in Warsaw, Poland on September 19th, 2014. The presentation, given by Marja Elsinga from Delft University of Technology, examined changing housing systems in Europe, including differences in home ownership rates between countries and the effects of the housing crisis. Some key lessons discussed were that promoting universal home ownership is unrealistic, countries with strong mortgage market regulation fared better in the crisis, and governments should facilitate more stable housing systems through policies supporting both ownership and rental options.
The document summarizes a project called "Peer-Mentoring for young mothers and pregnant women" that took place from 2017-2019 in Vienna. The project trained refugee women with health backgrounds to become peer mentors for pregnant refugees and young mothers. Over the course of the project, 17 peer mentors from diverse backgrounds provided support and information to over 120 women. The peer mentors also participated in discussions with decision-makers to address challenges like long qualification validation times. The project had positive effects, including raising awareness of barriers to employment and beginning to open paths for peer mentors to work in health roles.

Vegans avoid eating meat, dairy products, eggs, and other animal-derived substances. They seek to reduce animal cruelty and environmental damage from industrial animal agriculture. The number of vegans has grown significantly in recent years, especially among teenagers and young adults influenced by social media. A vegan diet focuses on plants such as vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, and fruits. While restricting certain foods, veganism can be nutritionally balanced and provide health benefits by reducing risks of diabetes, disease, obesity, and cancer. However, some animal products are still tested in cosmetics and clothing industries, prompting the vegan lifestyle.
Hussein Ali Hussein El Wakil has over 15 years of experience as a senior electrical engineer working on power plant projects in Iraq and Egypt. He has expertise in electrical design, construction, testing and commissioning. His career has involved roles such as senior site engineer, electrical testing and commissioning engineer, technical office manager, and installation engineer on various power, industrial and commercial projects.
Beth Geldard planned and created a vegan booklet. In the planning process, she conducted secondary research to determine topics to include. She created surveys that showed younger audiences knew little about veganism. She decided to include a factfile on vegan celebrities to attract younger readers. During production, she scheduled her work, received feedback, and made improvements. For example, she reworked a page on the rise of veganism by adding pull quotes and images. Her final booklet aimed to educate audiences aged 16-30 on veganism and related topics through engaging design and celebrity topics.
This document outlines a schedule for producing a vegan article over 4 weeks. It includes creating fact files on a celebrity and healthy living, pages on the rise of veganism and food, and an infographic. Week 1 focuses on collecting images for a food fact file. Week 2 involves starting the infographic and front cover. Week 3 adds a celebrity quotes fact file and continuing the food fact file. Week 4 finishes the last page and assembles the complete article.

The document discusses the European Tobacco Products Directive. Some key points:
- The Directive provides stronger regulation of tobacco products, ingredients, additives, and disclosure requirements. It aims to improve public health protection across the EU.
- Products like cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, e-cigarettes, and novel products will be regulated. Ingredients giving flavors or health impressions will be restricted. Misleading packaging and labeling will be prohibited.
- Implementation and monitoring plans include collecting industry data, tracking products, and evaluating the Directive's public health impact over 5 years using cohort and survey studies across 6 EU member states.
Packaging serves several important functions for both consumer and industrial products. It presents products in an attractive and eye-catching way, protects products to increase their lifespan, and preserves qualities like color and flavor. Packaging also aims to contain products safely and securely while providing convenience for handling and identification. Well-designed packaging can promote product sales through clear labeling and suitability for international transport, taking into account factors like language, size and container type across markets. The Indian Institute of Packaging works to support effective export packaging through research and standards.

The organization aims to address the root causes of homelessness through providing housing, employment assistance, and other support services. The evaluation will assess the organization's goals, objectives, cultural competence, use of funding, and performance tracking system. It will involve analyzing factors influencing homelessness like poverty, mental health, and housing affordability. The evaluation will also review the organization's budget, departments, data collection, and client outcomes to identify areas for improvement. The overall goal is to develop sustainable solutions for ending homelessness.
The document summarizes a workshop given by Dr. Simon Duffy on lessons from self-directed support in the UK.

This document provides updates on various topics related to volunteering, demand for social services, public sector reforms, and sustainability planning in Norfolk and Waveney, England. It notes that volunteering rates are unchanged while informal volunteering has dropped 5%. Demand for social services is increasing due to public sector failures and welfare reforms. The Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) for health and social care in the area has been submitted but with little community engagement. It outlines strategies around prevention, community care, integrated services, acute care sustainability, and cost-effective delivery. It also discusses market shaping efforts, the need for cultural shifts in partnerships, sector leadership, and increasing collaboration to strengthen organizations and benefit those they serve.

Cause and effect: Mental health budget cuts and the impact on homelessnessFEANTSA
Presentation given by Panagiota Fitsiou, Society
of Social Psychiatry and Mental Health, Greece, at the 2015 FEANTSA Policy Conference, "Homelessness, A Local Phenomenon with a European Dimension: Key Steps to Connect Communities to Europe", Paris City Hall, 19 June 2015
1. The role of civil society in health and social services in Sweden has increased over the past two decades as the public welfare system has scaled back home care services.
2. A national survey from 1992-2009 found that while volunteering has remained steady, informal caregiving has increased, with many Swedes now engaging in both activities.
3. This "crowding in" effect suggests that informal and voluntary care complement rather than replace public services, with volunteers and caregivers taking on lighter tasks while the state focuses on intensive personal care needs.
Webinar: Profiling your DHP budget to mitigate the impact of welfare reforms Policy in Practice
Deven Ghelani and Zoe Charlesworth, Policy in Practice, discuss how local authorities can spend their DHP budgets most effectively, to ensure people who need the support the most receive it.
View these slides to learn:
1. How DHP money is spent nationwide and why underspends occur
2. How to identify individual households most in need and what support they need
3. How to know if your DHP support is reaching the right people
4. Where to target your DHP engagement campaigns
Central government has increased the DHP budget by £35m in 2017-2018 to help with the transition of welfare reforms and it is important that the increased funding is made available to those who need it most.
Whilst some assessments of the impact of reforms have taken place, DWP advise local authorities to carry out more detailed work to identify those most in need of discretionary support.
"You may want to profile your caseload to identify certain groups among those potentially affected by the changes, and establish the level of demand among those groups. Although DWP has already carried out various Equality Impact Assessments in relation to HB reform you may want to carry out a more detailed assessment for your area."
Discretionary Housing Payments Guidance Manual, DWP, Dec 2016
Policy in Practice has helped local authorities identify individual households most at risk from aggregate and cumulative welfare reforms so that support programmes can be targeted where they are most needed.

New social protection challenges require new evidence to guide policies:
1) Recurrent crises have increased poverty and inequality, testing social protection systems, while gaps in coverage, financing, and adequacy remain.
2) Evidence is needed on scaling social protection universally, enhancing program design for climate action, nutrition, and shock-responsiveness, and measuring long-term and gender impacts.
3) Emerging issues like the "new poor", family-friendly policies, and data challenges in fragile contexts require a research agenda to develop effective, inclusive policies for the future.

Homelessness Policy in England: the importance of placeAdam Stephenson
Homelessness policy and practice has been transformed by new managerialism and decentralisation. Decentralisation initially reversed the centralisation of new managerilism. Decentralisation is now leading to evolution of place based approaches to homelessness. Place-based approaches have the potential to provide more person centred, systematic and outcome based approaches to reducing homelessness. Find out more about the evolution of place based approaches in London.
A presentation concerning the effectiveness of Finland's development aid, held by Doctor of Economics and a long-time director at the World Bank Ritva Reinikka at an open discussion event in Helsinki 4.6.2015.
The document summarizes the impact of development cooperation based on a presentation given in Helsinki, Finland in 2015. It notes that development cooperation has contributed to reductions in global poverty and mortality rates. However, concerns remain regarding issues like conflict, disease, climate change, and human rights. The presentation discusses strategic choices that donor countries face regarding thematic and geographic focus, and engaging other actors through partnerships. It recommends that Finnish aid continue its selective approach while further emphasizing results and evaluation.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

2. The Rise (2006-2010)
• 6 ministries, the ‘Big4’ cities, service
providers, housing corporations develop
integral ‘Action Plan on Social Relief’
• The national government invests €170 million
• Results: 12.400 people individual plan; 7.550
people housing & support; 33% decrease
evictions; 53% decrease criminal offences;
fewer care-leavers become homeless
3. The sequel (2010-2014)
• No targets, but process-indicators
• Another 6000 adults & 3000 young people
have an individual plan
• Overall decrease in number of evictions: 22%
• Slight rise in number of people leaving
institutional care
• No change in number of criminal offences
4. The Fall (2015 -?)
• Gradually the Action Plan faded out
• Number of evictions increased again, as well
as the number of (young) homeless people
• Poverty is increasing, especially among one-
parent families and older unemployed people
• Affordable housing not available; shelters are
overcrowded, few move-on options.
• Flaws in monitoring, no reliable figures
5. Reflections
• Urgency is essential (‘urgency in policy arises when citizens
experience an inhuman and severely unpleasant situation which causes
nuisance for them’)
• Financial investment by government (‘carrot or
stick’)
• Willingness to cooperate (government, municipalities,
housing corporations, service providers, clients organizations)
• Extent to which the problem can be
influenced by policies (best-effort obligation v.v.
obligation to achieve results)
• Concrete measurable targets, instruments
6. Sustainable policies?
• Individualized plans & care for clients are key
• Focus on ‘living a normal life’
• Cooperation between different organizations
and sectors, coordinated by local authority
• Balance between low-threshold, less-intensive
forms of care and specialized care
• Organizing access to care & housing
• Setting concrete targets & monitoring results
7. Questions?
• How to organize urgency?
(political action, story-telling, research, facts &
figures, media, involvement service-users,
visibility, and / or …?)
• How to keep prevention of homelessness on
the agenda, when the strategy is working?
