We are thrilled to announce that Setlementtiasunnot’s Alppikylä community in Helsinki has won the prestigious NBO Housing Award for the best residential area in the Nordics. This recognition highlights the organization’s commitment to fostering community spirit and addressing segregation in housing services. Alppikylä’s vibrant neighborhood is known for its strong sense of belonging, where residents actively participate in communal activities like gardening, food distribution, and neighborhood events.

Setlementtiasunnot’s CEO, Suvi Tuomala, expressed her gratitude, emphasizing the importance of affordable housing in promoting well-being. The organization’s commitment to community-building is evident in every project, and the Alppikylä development stands as a model for inclusive, cooperative living environments.

Looking ahead, Suvi Tuomala has been invited to speak at the European Federation for Living event in Leeds, UK, this November. Her participation will spotlight the successful strategies and initiatives Setlementtiasunnot has implemented to build inclusive communities and promote equitable housing.
