Swedish Visitors Share Passion for Housing First

Visitors from Sweden all sitting on a couch

Pathways was delighted to welcome visitors from Sweden this September. Our guests spent a full day with us, attending team rounds, meeting with various staff members, and even heading into the field for some home visits at the end of the day! The five visitors were from two different agencies that are beginning housing first programs in the Stockholm area. While the social system in Sweden runs very differently from that of the US, we found common ground in the joys and challenges of working with participants, and the creativity involved in problem solving some of the struggles in our work. We so enjoyed the visit, and are still munching on the delicious Swedish chocolates our visitors brought. We wish our friends the best of luck in their continued journey with Housing First!
