Change of Viidakkokuja's Supported Housing Unit to Community Housing

Viidakkokuja's supported housing unit will change to community housing starting from 1.1.2025. This change applies to new customers moving into Viidakkokuja's housing unit from that date onwards. For current customers, a new assessment of the support level will be made, and the change will take effect as planned next year.

Community housing offers stronger support than the current supported housing. Each customer will have their own support level determined, and a customer fee related to income will be charged for the housing. However, living at Viidakkokuja will remain largely the same as it is now, and no major changes in staff or management are expected. Current services will remain unchanged, and customers will be offered more support for housing as well as daily life and life management. The amount of community activities will increase.

For some customers, the change may mean moving to another unit or their own apartment, while for some, living at Viidakkokuja will continue. Each current customer will receive personal information about the service needs assessment together with their social worker and Viidakkokuja's personal counselor, about the termination of their lease agreement and support decision, and about the plan for continued housing.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact the manager of supported housing Merja Haverinen (tel. 040 8263 334) or the corresponding counselor Minna Koponen (tel. 050 3122 001).
