Y-Kodit for specific target groups
•
We rent the majority of our dwellings to our partners,
organisations and municipalities. They then sublet the flats out to
those who are most in need of housing.
•
The Y-Foundation rents out only some of the flats directly to
tenants. These flats are called Y-Kodit (Y-Homes).
•
Homes are offered primarily to those with a homeless
background, to those who have lost their credit rating, or to those
who have otherwise become displaced from the rental housing
market.

Affordable M2-Kodit offers homes from
cities
•
•
•
M2-Kodit, owned by Y-Foundation, rents out flats directly to those who
are looking for a home and meet the tenant selection criteria. M2-Kodit
offers affordable rental homes in Finnish cities and towns.
The tenant selection is based on social relevance and financial need.
These are evaluated based on the applicant household’s need for a
flat and their assets.
The Finnish Government has confirmed more specific tenant selection
criteria, which is used when selecting tenants. The criteria is made
by ARA, The Housing Finance and Development Centre in Finland.
Only the amount of real costs of the housing are collected in the
leases and no profit is made.

Women’s
homelessness in Finland
•
According to the annual ARA Housing Survey in 2019, 1 190
women living alone were homeless, representing 26 % of all
homeless people living alone.
•
Concurrently over 159 homeless families and 105 couples were
experiencing homelessness, all together estimated 680 people.
Also the assumption is that part of the homelessness of women is
hidden and does not appear in the statistics.
•
The NEA project is the first to focus on the specific needs of
women in homelessness work.

NEA
–
Securing Housing for Women
•
•
•
•
NEA, women specificity in homelessness work, is a three-year (2018–2020)
national project co-ordinated by the Y-Foundation and funded by STEA.
Target is to raise awareness of phenomenon.
The NEA project seeks answers to these questions: What kinds of life
situations lead to the risk of homelessness and homelessness for women?
How do women’s homelessness differ from men’s homelessness? What
should be taken into account when working with women in difficult life
situations? Does homelessness mean more to women than just lack of
permanent residence?
Project is made by training professionals and developing new work methods
and tools. Work on the project is done through multidisciplinary collaboration
between numerous actors including people with lived experience.
