Homeless = no permanent residence. Homeless people can get shelter for night. Municipalities and the state have an obligation to provide a warm place to sleep, and every individual, regardless of their place of residence, has the right to have it. But that's not a home. Most homeless stay at relatives or friends (60%). Some stay in institutions, like hospitals or shelters for victims of domestic violence. Then there are homeless dormitories, but they are so full of alcoholics and drug users that many people prefer to sleep outside in tent or something. Most homelessness is just temporary, but there was still 1,133 long term homeless people in Finland December 2022. If you are a person without problems managing your life, you get your home typically in few days or weeks.
