Housing advisory service
Summary
We launched a new housing advisory service in 2022, which has proved very successful. We assist approximately 300 clients annually. Housing advisors assist all Vaasa residents or newcomers in need of housing advice. Many clients face challenging situations such as homelessness, rent arrears, or eviction. In the future, housing advisors will focus more on advising older persons in collaboration with the Ostrobothnia Welfare region, the Senior Citizens’ Council, and other stake-holders.
