Housing First as a systems approach. What does this require of the Netherlands?

Paper and webinar

Based on the eight core principles of Housing First, this paper describes the status quo and the necessary further development for a successful Dutch system approach to Housing First.

For this purpose, we draw on the experiences gained in the Netherlands since 2006 with the development of Housing First for long-term homeless people with multiple problems. In the spring of 2022, the Dutch government decided to tackle homelessness by focusing on Housing First principles.
