the right to housing is part of the universal declaration of human rights. different countries implement that differently, but in europe generally this means more than just shelter, but an adequate private space with at least a private room, bathroom and cooking facility. shelters are temporary solutions with the intent to get people off the street and give them access to resources and support to find a permanent home. they are not intended to fulfill the right to housing. i believe finland has implemented a model where homeless people are moved directly to a home where they can stay permanently, and that is why they rebuilt a shelter for temporary stay into a place where people can actually stay long term
