The Bromma City District Administration and the Social Services Administration plan to lease a group home with five apartments in the Utombordaren 2 property in Bromma. This will create new housing for individuals with disabilities under the LSS act, addressing a significant shortage of such places in the city. The annual rent for the accommodation will be approximately 1.9 million SEK, with occupancy expected by September 2026.

The Social Services Department reported 158 unfulfilled decisions under the LSS Act for Q1 2026, an increase from last year, mainly concerning adult housing, daily activities, and short-term stays due to individuals' preferences or rejections. Unfulfilled Social Services Act (SoL) decisions totaled 131, most commonly for employment, permanent housing, and other assistance. The Social Welfare Committee is recommended to approve the report and forward it to the Municipal Council.

Stockholm's Social Welfare Administration reviewed its public-private partnership with three victim support organizations, which provided support in 3,017 cases between April and December 2025. The Administration recommends that the Social Welfare Committee approve the achievement of the collaboration's goals. Notably, referrals to the city's Youth Support Center significantly increased from 4 cases in 2024 to 26 in 2025 due to this partnership.

The Social Welfare Committee will review the Social Welfare Administration's 2025 annual report, which tracks agreements with private providers under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS). While most providers comply after addressing initial shortcomings, the report highlights that issues primarily concerned a lack of routines and quality assurance. Three foster care agreements were terminated, and one round-the-clock care agreement was rescinded due to serious deficiencies. The Committee is also expected to approve the contract follow-up plan for 2026–2028.

The Social Welfare Committee has been tasked with investigating the possibility of introducing ACT teams, interprofessional teams for individuals with complex illnesses. This assignment is proposed to be expanded to include a pilot project with Region Stockholm for coordinated care and support services. This is in preparation for new legislation, effective 2028, that will require municipalities and regions to jointly operate such services for individuals with long-term support needs due to mental health disabilities.

The Social Welfare Committee is to provide an opinion on a proposed Program for Urban-Proximate Cultivation, which will serve as a guiding document for the City of Stockholm, highlighting opportunities for cultivation in areas like allotment gardens and community gardens. The Social Welfare Administration has reservations regarding the program's use of "särskilda boenden" and "specialboenden," finding these terms misleading and not used within their operational areas. The Administration also emphasizes the need for knowledge support to help activities initiate cultivation.

The Social Welfare Committee is to comment on the "Preschool in Stockholm 2025" report, which highlights preschool's vital role for children's development and well-being, emphasizing collaboration between preschools and social services. While the Social Welfare Administration agrees on the importance of cooperation, it notes challenges such as varying practices between city districts, low enrollment in some areas, and the need for greater equity for children with special needs. The Administration proposes approving an official statement in response to the report, suggesting improvements to procedures for welfare concerns, mental health support, and advocating for training and knowledge-sharing to strengthen collaboration.

The Culture Committee is set to consider a proposal to grant 1 million SEK in support to the Björkhagens Hjärta association. This funding would establish a new studio house in Björkhagen, owned by Svenska Bostäder, offering 30 studios and about 40 workspaces for professional artists. The house, also featuring public spaces for exhibitions and courses, is slated to open in autumn 2026.

The Culture Department proposes that Banar Sabet and Nazem Tahvilzadeh be appointed as new reference persons to assess applications for grants to study associations. Emma Dominguez is proposed as a reference person to assess grants to local managing organizations. These reference persons will strengthen the department's assessment with their expertise, including in civil society, popular education, and participant culture, and contribute to a fairer distribution of grants for cultural activities in Stockholm.

The Culture Committee is set to approve a city-wide functional description for cultural coordinators. This aims to provide Stockholm residents with more equitable access to high-quality culture, especially for groups currently facing greater barriers, such as children, young people, individuals with disabilities, and the elderly. The cultural coordinator's role will involve stimulating and coordinating cultural work locally within the city districts.

The Culture Committee is set to approve two agreements with Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB to ensure the continuation of library and sanctuary city operations during 2026. Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB will receive SEK 45.2 million for library services and SEK 1.8 million for sanctuary city activities between January 1 and December 31, 2026. This guarantees that Stockholm residents will continue to access library services and that endangered artists, including journalists, can find refuge in Stockholm.

The Culture Committee is set to discuss a proposed development of Kulturhuset Fanfaren in Farsta. This plan involves renovating and expanding the building to accommodate a growing population, enhance safety in Farsta centrum, and provide more accessible activities for children and young people. The proposal aims to integrate library services, the cultural school, and external partners, creating new spaces for digital creation, additional study rooms, and a renovated main stage.

The Culture Committee is to comment on the City Audit Office's 2025 annual report, which reviewed the Culture Administration and the City Archives. While the audit found operations to be largely appropriate and financially satisfactory, internal governance and control were only partly sufficient, highlighting the need to improve controls for payment cards, payroll, direct procurements, and art. The Culture Administration and City Archives largely agree with the audit's findings and plan to take action based on the recommendations.

The City Archives presented its first quarterly report for 2026, indicating good achievement of objectives despite a water leak incident. A fire alarm test at Liljeholmskajen caused water damage to over 100 shelf-meters of archival documents, but quick action ensured no information was lost. Sprinkler pipes will now be addressed, and the City Archives is exploring solutions to prevent similar future incidents.

The Culture Administration presented its first quarterly report for 2026, assessing that Stockholm's cultural activity goals will be met this year. They also proposed several budget adjustments, including SEK 0.2 million for film production, SEK 1.0 million for lost rent during Liljevalchs art gallery renovations, SEK 5.9 million for security at Odenplan City Library, and SEK 7.1 million for roof structure upgrades at Kungsträdgården's stage.

The Social Services Department proposes a temporary grant of SEK 248,000 to Tensta Konsthall for July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. This funding is for "Accessible Art with Studio funk," a program designed to provide inclusive art experiences for children, youth, and adults with disabilities in Järva and other parts of Stockholm. The initiative includes tactile tours, free art Saturdays, sign language and audio-described openings, and easy-to-read exhibition texts.

The Social Welfare Administration proposes approving a temporary grant of SEK 300,000 to the Motorists' Temperance Association (MHF) for July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. This grant is intended for the choir "Gatans röster" (Voices of the Street), which supports individuals in vulnerable life situations, often with past substance abuse, mental illness, or homelessness. The choir provides rehearsals, group activities, and social support to boost members' self-esteem and foster a sober community.

The Knas hemma association has applied for a temporary grant of SEK 300,000 to operate Knas-gården from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. Knas-gården is an leisure activity in Älvsjö for youths aged 13-18 who live or have lived in foster care, residential care homes, or other types of out-of-home placements. The Social Services Department recommends approving the grant, as the association has previously operated the program as planned and meets the criteria.

The Social Services Department proposes a temporary grant of SEK 116,000 to Hjärnskadeförbundet Hjärnkraft Stockholms län for the period July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. These funds will support "Hjärnträff Unga vuxna," a program for young adults aged 18-35 with acquired brain injuries, aiming to combat social isolation, expand social networks, and improve quality of life through group meetings and social activities.

The 1000 Possibilities Foundation applied for a temporary grant of SEK 500,000 for the second year of its operations supporting young people affected by domestic violence, primarily targeting 15-20 year olds in Stockholm via the ungarelationer.se support chat. The Social Welfare Administration proposes approving the grant for July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, as the foundation is deemed to have conducted its activities according to plan.
