Guide: Housing First Netherlands
Homes fix homelessness
The Dutch Housing First guide was created at the initiative of LIMOR, with support from the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, the Shelter Federation and The Housing First Europe Hub. The guide is for anyone who works, will work or is interested in Housing First and is ideally suited for project leaders who will implement Housing First. The guide can also serve as a handbook. The guide can also serve as a handbook for social workers. The content is derived from the European Housing First guide and provides basic knowledge. What is Housing First? Who is it intended for and how did it come about?
The core principles are indispensable to get started with Housing First. These principles form the foundations of the support and cannot be seen separately. We discuss what support is involved and how a Housing First practice can organize help and housing. We do not describe Housing First as a panacea, but are realistic about the possibilities and challenges. We conclude the guide with proof that Housing First works.
