The Moderates have proposed LGBTQ+ certification for Stockholm's home care services to ensure respectful treatment and a safe environment for all seniors, regardless of sexual orientation or identity. The district administration in Hägersten-Älvsjö is positive about the idea but notes that such training needs to be adapted for home care, as its current form is costly and time-consuming.

The City of Stockholm plans to adopt a new food program to ensure good, healthy, and climate-smart food for both residents and those working in city operations. The program will focus on sustainable meals within the city's own services (like schools and elderly care) and "Food City Stockholm," which aims to help everyone in the city make sustainable food choices. The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has responded positively but suggests clearer guidelines for local produce and more support for professional development.

The Moderates in Hägersten-Älvsjö questioned why elderly care in the district has shown large surpluses for several years and if these funds could be used to improve quality. The administration explained the surpluses are due to fewer elderly needing services than projected and more efficient working methods, adding that while funds cannot be directly transferred due to city budget principles, they are positive about future quality improvements if the budget is adjusted to the growing number of elderly.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has authorized 41 social workers at the Social Emergency Services to request police assistance in specific situations. This applies to cases such as compulsory care for substance abusers (LVM), taking young people into care (LVU), and implementing decisions to place children in sheltered housing. The decision enables these officials to call upon police support when necessary to protect individuals and carry out crucial interventions.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has appointed specific managers and team leaders within child, youth, and family services. These individuals are authorized to request police assistance to enforce decisions regarding compulsory care of young people (LVU) or the placement of children in sheltered housing. This ensures quick enforcement when needed, for instance, if parents or children are uncooperative, or if a child goes missing.

The City of Stockholm plans to establish twelve new service apartments for individuals with disabilities in the Fader Bergström block in Hägersten, expected to be completed by 2028. These apartments will help address a significant shortage of such housing in the city, with the estimated annual rent for these units totaling approximately 1.8 million SEK.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has approved a 9.7 million SEK renovation of the wading pool at Lugnet playground in Västertorp. The current pool fails water quality standards due to runoff from a rockface, so it will be rebuilt with a new terrazzo bottom and relocated away from the rock, aiming for completion by the 2026 bathing season.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has approved a 12-million-kronor renovation of Långbroparken playground, also known as Äventyrsparken, in Långbro. Scheduled between 2026 and 2028, the dilapidated playground will be rebuilt to include age-appropriate equipment, natural play elements, specific experiences for children with disabilities, and a permanent outdoor gym for adults.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council is distributing just over SEK 1.4 million in operating grants to local associations for 2026. A total of 27 associations will receive funding to strengthen cultural and associational life in the district and offer residents activities. Among those receiving the largest grants are Midsommargården (SEK 150,000), Eolshälls 4H-gård (SEK 130,000), and Vintervikens Trädgård ideell förening (SEK 100,000). Two associations, Sannadals sportklubb and OK Älvsjö Örby, will not receive operating grants but are instead referred to the Sports Committee and event support, respectively.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has approved its activity report and financial statements for 2025, forwarding them to the City Executive Board and the city auditors. The council reports a surplus of 65.2 million SEK and believes most of the City Council's goals for the year were met, either fully or partially. They request that 74.8 million SEK from the surplus be carried over to 2026.

A citizen has suggested measures to improve safety at Enbacksparken in Hägersten, noting that cars and mopeds frequently drive onto a pedestrian path near a preschool, playground, and schoolyard. The administration proposes investigating the possibility of installing a physical barrier to block traffic and enhance safety for children in the area.

The Farsta City District Board has reviewed a compilation of decisions made independently by the City District Director. These decisions include the procurement of hostel places and emergency housing for the homeless, impacting residents in need of temporary accommodation. The Board filed the information.

Farsta's Pensioner Council discussed new initiatives and challenges for seniors, including the new "Elderly Pilot" service designed to guide seniors on support, activities, and independent living, such as transport and home care. The council was also informed about an upcoming user survey on eldercare and engaged in a dialogue about staffing and language skills within eldercare.

The Liberals propose that Stockholm introduce more summer pedestrian streets and squares to create a more vibrant city environment, benefit trade, and increase safety. Farsta district administration supports this, suggesting Karlandaplan, Gubbängstorget, and Stig Trenters torg in Farsta as potential locations. They emphasize ensuring public transport accessibility and involving residents and businesses in the planning.

The City of Stockholm proposes establishing a 12.2-hectare forest area in Gökdalen, Farsta, as a biotope protection area to safeguard old trees and rich biodiversity, including rare species. This will preserve the forest for recreation while prohibiting harmful activities and ensuring the area is managed to protect its natural values.

The City of Stockholm proposes a new food program to make meals served in preschools, schools, and elder care, as well as residents' food choices, healthier, climate-smart, and environmentally friendly. Farsta district administration supports this but requests clearer purchasing rules, more staff training, and better communication to help both city operations and residents choose sustainable food.

The Farsta City District Committee will sign a new agreement with four local associations – FOC Farsta Fotboll, Farsta Scoutkår, Farsta IBK, and Hammarby Basket – to organize nighttime patrols in 2026. This initiative aims to increase safety in Farsta by having more adults present outdoors in the evenings and at night, which is expected to reduce disturbances and improve contact with children and young people. The city will contribute 1500 SEK per patrol night to the associations.

The Farsta District Council is updating its internal procedures for handling deficiencies and abuses within social services and LSS operations (Lex Sarah cases). This means serious issues will be reported to the council faster, and the District Director will be responsible for reporting severe abuses to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO). Furthermore, the municipality's obligation to report unsuitable care providers to IVO is expanded from only personal assistance to include all licensed operations within SoL and LSS, strengthening care oversight.

The Farsta City District Committee has decided to procure winter road maintenance and other park maintenance services. This ensures that parks, green spaces along traffic routes, and park paths in Farsta will continue to be maintained by external contractors, keeping them clean and accessible year-round. This procurement is a collaboration with several southern city districts to achieve economies of scale.

Farsta District Council evaluated nine of its own operations for individuals with disabilities and social psychiatry during 2023, including service housing like Brattforsgatan and group housing in Sköndal, as well as day activities such as STUDIO.it. The results indicate that the operations are generally safe and secure, with good user participation and well-trained staff. However, there's a need to clarify and implement certain routines, a process already underway, and the administration believes ongoing competence development and a new management structure will enhance quality and user rights.
