Enhanced housing assistance with Essi-Alliansi
We are using an alliance model to develop new, comprehensive service concepts for a customer group that uses a large number of services.
Essi-Alliansi is a solution-centric cooperation model developed by the City of Espoo and comprising the City of Espoo, Edistia, the Finnish Foundation for Supporting Ex-offenders, and the Blue Ribbon Foundation Group.
Essi-Alliansi targets clients who are currently in impractical housing or in need of simultaneous support from several services. Clients might also include long-term homeless, a young person in child protection aftercare, ex-offenders or someone with mental health and substance abuse problems.
Clients of Essi-Alliansi need multifaceted, individually tailored support to manage their daily lives. Through this service, we coach clients in using public services, we ensure housing success, we offer advice on managing life skills and we strengthen their ability to live an active life.
Clients of Essi-Alliansi receive services based on the housing first – principle
