The City Executive Board has proposed new guidelines for handling financial assistance in Stockholm, which the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration largely supports as they update policies from 2017 to current laws and practices.

The guidelines include the "Stockholm norm" for higher food and leisure grants for children, summer holiday allowances, and funding for children's recreational activities.

The City Executive Board has issued new guidelines for the fair allocation of special housing for individuals with disabilities and mental health issues, clarifying responsibilities between the Social Welfare Administration and district administrations.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council will consider a referral response regarding the action plan for a gender-equal Stockholm by 2030, which aims for women, men, and non-binary individuals to have equal rights and opportunities. The administration welcomes the plan but suggests including non-binary people in the city's statistics system, setting a specific goal for gender equality in preschools, and securing more robust statistics and budget for dialogues related to urban development.

The City Executive Board has circulated a proposed program for events in Stockholm for consultation, aiming to establish Stockholm as a leading event city in Europe.

The administration believes this establishment will not lead to negative social consequences, considering the area's character and its proximity to children's and youth activities.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council will review an updated delegation order for 2026.

The Citizen's Office and Drop-in Social Support in Rågsved will temporarily relocate from Kumlagatan 13 due to a building renovation, moving into Nya Rågsveds Folkets hus at Rågsvedstorget 11 from May 2026 to October 2026.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council will discuss its budget proposal for 2027, with orientations for 2028 and 2029.

The Council proposes approving the document and forwarding it to the Municipal Board for preparation.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council is to review a response to the Sweden Democrats regarding buyouts for employees with inappropriate or criminal behavior, particularly within schools, preschools, and care services. The Sweden Democrats question how the administration ensures buyouts don't replace legal processes and how they prevent re-employment of unsuitable staff. The administration clarifies that buyouts are exceptional measures, criminal acts are reported to the police, and details procedures for recruitment and management support.

A resident proposed opening a recreation center in Stureby, noting the current lack of such a meeting place in the area. The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration will investigate the future development and needs of recreation centers this year, and the proposal for a Stureby center will be included in this review. The committee is recommended to approve the administration's response.

The City Executive Board has referred guidelines for mediating special housing for individuals needing support under the Social Services Act (SoL) or the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), including social psychiatric housing. The aim is to ensure equal treatment and clear accountability for mediation. The Skarpnäck District Administration supports the guidelines but suggests reviewing the differing response times for accepting housing offers between SoL and LSS cases to further equalize the process.

The City Executive Board has circulated a referral regarding activity requirements for those receiving social assistance.

The Skarpnäck District Council supports this proposal and recommends its approval as the response to the referral.

The Skarpnäck District Committee will review a proposal for updated guidelines on how financial assistance is handled in Stockholm.
