  • Midterm article - ROOF cities ending homelessness from different starting points: how to adopt and adapt known solutions?

    The URBACT ROOF cities, all working towards ending homelessness with housing led/first solutions, all had very different starting points. They are located in specific geographical places with each their own history, present and future implications. They are of different cultures and habits and most of all, their local and national policies as well as their experience on housing first are at very different stages. A year before the end of this collaboration, I am reflecting on the progress done in each city and what is each city taking out of the project and from the testing activated in the last month. I will also look at how the collaboration between the cities has been of huge importance to the progress.

    The URBACT method is based on cities creating networks and peer learning from one another. The network is structured in a way that the cities may bring different points of view and experiences. This process has created two main questions in the ROOF network. One regarding the possibility to advance from different starting points and another related to the adaptations of HF solutions to specific contexts.
