We’ll be at the Night of the Homeless event at Kansalaistori Square on Friday 17 October 2025 from 15.00–21.00. The event reminds us all of the importance of having a home and offers support, information and activities for people experiencing homelessness.
If you don't have a permanent home in Helsinki, you have access to health services at any health station in the City of Helsinki.
Additionally, the Hietaniemenkatu Service Centre provides convenient access to health services, including walk-in appointments with nurses and doctors. The centre also offers regular access to a foot therapist and specialised social work services provided by the church.
You can also access social services at any adult social work location.
Guidance and advice for managing your affairs are also offered at most overnight accommodation and housing service units for individuals without a home, as well as at the Hietaniemenkatu Service Centre.
Furthermore, social instructors from the street-based outreach team can be found on the streets, in shopping centres, residents’ spaces and food aid locations. You can approach them to discuss your health and social service needs and engage in broader conversations about your situation.
All the health and social services we provide are free of charge.
