This worksheet compares Finland’s "Housing First" approach to homelessness with the Czech Republic’s conditional support model, highlighting key differences in strategy and values. Finland has nearly eradicated homelessness by prioritizing immediate housing without requiring individuals to meet conditions like employment or sobriety, believing that stable housing is essential for personal improvement. In contrast, the Czech Republic typically provides temporary shelters or transitional programs, where individuals are expected to show progress in areas such as job readiness or addiction recovery before gaining long-term housing support. This approach reflects a cultural emphasis on self-reliance and limited welfare funding. The worksheet includes conversation questions designed to encourage students to think critically about each country’s method, the cultural values behind them, and their own opinions on housing as a human right. By exploring these contrasting approaches, students can reflect on the impact of stable housing and discuss how societal values shape policies. This activity is intended to promote thoughtful dialogue on homelessness, social responsibility, and the balance between government support and individual responsibility.
