The starting point of this paper is that advancing social inclusion – making all groups
of people feel important and valued – is crucial to consider since it advances the quality of
life and development of humans, organizations, and societies. The objective of this paper is
to introduce the case of a social innovation called the Y-Foundation. The Y-Foundation is a
social enterprise operating in Finland and aiming to promote opportunities for homeless
people. Having a home can make solving health and social problems much easier. In
addition, a linkage between ethics and innovation in the Y-Foundation’s operations is
discussed.
