It is not true, or at least it is a gross oversimplification
No.
in most EU countries, nobody HAS to be homeless, there is social support systems that grant apatments for rent and healthcare. BUT only if the person takes matters into his hand and goes to the angencies that grand these things. homeless people are not kidnapped from the streets and stuck into apartments. its a CHOICE-

So I’d say: true enough!
Edit: “ended homelessness” is not correct.
Absolutely not true.
What a joke. People with actual mental health problems have to wait 6 months here for treatment unless they’re so serious they want to take their lives, then they might take them serious, even then it’s a maybe unless you actually demand it or are visibly unwell.
There are homeless people and it’s in the news every month.
They are homeless, because they want to do drugs, so they get kicked out of their apartments.
I believe finland has relatively little homelessness because of the cold climate to be honest.
Thats russian hybrid war scam, here is not free home job and girlfriend arranged, sorry. Miserable night shelter and barely livable food, some cases banishment to where came from.
It is an oversimplification of a complex situation. Unfortunately, this is used in a certain country across the Atlantic as a discussion point, for both Left and Right to suit their agendas. It fits neither, really.
Ont he off chance that this is a serious question and not just another bot post (though OP’s post history doesn’t really fill me with confidence about this):
Yes, it is easier in Finland than in most places to get support in situations of need – including homelessness. Considering how cold the winters are getting round here, it is a very simple consideration to not let people just die on the streets. It is also the realization that having a place to live (and enough food) is the very basic need, and all other issues can not be tackled unless these are fixed.
But it is also not as easy as just handing anybody a key to an apartment. You need to have the infrastructure for supporting people beyond that already in place. And of course, you must be sure that this will not be overwhelmed by people migrating from neighboring countries (or, in case of the US: states) because life is better there.
And of course you need to have a society that understands the need to help others rather than just blaming people in misery themselves.
These preconditions were given in Finland (at least to some extend), and they are not given in most other places around the globe.
And of course, the “without preconditions” comes with a lot of restrictions. Moving to Finland to get free mental healthcare and an apartment would not work, for example.
