    Finland had in 2023 a total of 3429 homeless people. 2/3rds of those are temporary without home for a wide variety of reasons, including mental health or substance abuse issues, and that category is the main cause when talking about long term homeless that make up the remaining 1/3rd. I think based on that, saying “often behind the homelessness there’s substance abuse, addiction or mental health issues” makes perfect sense.
