  • It is important that any problems with housing are solved as early on as possible.  The housing consultant can review your situation comprehensively. For example, they can evaluate problems with rent. When necessary, the housing consultant can, with your permission, contact Social Services or Kela. The aim is that your situation is improved and that housing can continue as normal. Housing consultants are committed to professional confidentiality.
