In our communities you can meet other people and get support and service guidance concerning various issues. At our Illusia communities in Espoo and Vantaa you can also take a shower or rest in a safe place. In addition, we offer different kind of group activities.
Illusia communities are low-threshold, community-based meeting places located in the Vallila area of Helsinki, the Koivukylä area of Vantaa, and the Leppävaara area of Espoo. Our services are particularly designed for homeless people, people at risk of homelessness and adults who are active substance abusers.
Cafe Illusia Helsinki serves small meals, such as porridge and coffee. There are also various peer and volunteer opportunities. Our facilities have a Wi-Fi connection, computer, phone and charging point for electronic devices. Our homeless guests can also store their belongings in lockers.
At Illusia, you can spend time playing cards, reading, watching TV or just sitting in peace.
In Vantaa and Espoo, visitors have access to more everyday facilities, such as showers, laundry facilities and a rest area.
If you wish, our staff is ready to support you with a wide range of issues, from housing-related questions to accessing the right kind of services.
We are constantly working with guests to develop our services. Ideas, feedback and other topical issues are discussed at community meetings, to which everyone is welcome.
Volunteering and peer work can also be done at Illusia day centres. We organise regular rounds with our guests to pick up litter and interact with the communities where our day centres are located.
Our services can be used anonymously and at no cost.
