From author Michaela Haas for Reasons to Be Cheerful, “A unique Housing First effort in D\u00fcsseldorf combines art, newspapers and advocacy to pair the unhoused with apartments.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n“The nonprofit fiftyfifty, which receives no support from the state, derives funding not only from its newspaper \u2014 which regularly publishes renowned authors \u2014 but also from its aforementioned gallery…Today, Fiftyfifty owns 50 apartments that house 60 people permanently, plus about a dozen more apartments that wealthy locals have loaned at no cost to unhoused people.”<\/p>\n

“With its artsy touch, fiftyfifty brings a unique twist to the Housing First approach, which posits that people should be housed before they\u2019re expected to tackle their other challenges. The model is still comparatively new in Germany, but has been successful in reducing chronic homelessness in countries such as Finland and Canada.”<\/p>\n

“Housing First was pioneered in the U.S. and Canada. By giving people permanent housing with a lock and a key \u2014 no bunk beds, no cubicles, no theft \u2014 social workers help them address other issues, such as debt, addiction or joblessness.”<\/p>\n
