All agenda items

The Swedish government has proposed a new national activity requirement for those receiving social assistance, effective July 1, 2026, meaning municipalities must offer activities to help residents move closer to work or study. In Stockholm, city administrations suggest the Labor Market Committee be given overall responsibility for providing these activities, while district and social welfare committees continue with their authority and coordinated support.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council will consider a referral response concerning revised guidelines for child safety in Stockholm's municipal preschools. While the council views the new guidelines positively for systematizing child safety efforts, they suggest shortening and linguistically streamlining the document to ease implementation.

The City Executive Board has asked the Hässelby-Vällingby District Council to comment on proposed new guidelines for financial assistance. The updated guidelines aim to be clearer, adapted to new laws, and place greater emphasis on helping individuals achieve self-sufficiency. Notably, habilitation and apprentice compensation would no longer be considered income when calculating assistance.

The City Executive Board proposes that Stockholm transition to digital personnel files for all city employees, moving away from paper-based records. This change aims to improve the quality, security, and efficiency of managing documents like employment contracts and evaluations. All existing paper files will be scanned, a process estimated to take up to five years and cost 70 million SEK.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will review a referral response concerning new guidelines for allocating special housing for individuals with disabilities and mental health issues in Stockholm. While generally positive about the proposed guidelines to unify processes and clarify responsibilities, the District Administration suggests shortening the implementation period for placements outside the choice system from six to three months. They also recommend clarifying the handling of unfulfilled decisions and ensuring cost frameworks are considered for external placements.

A citizen proposal suggested reopening the former Skolörten service house in Hässelby Villastad. However, the property requires extensive and uneconomical renovations. Instead, the site is planned for a new care home, senior housing, home care facilities, day activities, and a community space, with a preliminary completion in 2034.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will address two citizen proposals requesting a new dog park in Smedshagen, Hässelby. The administration suggests the council include this request in ongoing efforts to supplement and more evenly distribute dog parks throughout the district, though a specific proposed location near Rödklövern preschool is deemed unsuitable due to its proximity to homes/the preschool and its secluded nature.

A citizen proposed improving skateboarding opportunities in Hässelby-Vällingby by creating "skate plazas" and simple urban additions instead of costly ramp parks. The administration welcomes this idea and will incorporate suggestions, such as adding special benches and open spaces in Guldet, Hässelängen, and Melonparken, into its ongoing work to develop outdoor environments and investigate smaller skate areas during 2026.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board will address a by-election for its Senior Citizens' Council. Lena Bosticco has vacated her alternate position, and the administration proposes that Wivan Lindberg (PRO) and Barbro Erlandsson (SPF) be appointed as new alternates to fill the vacant seats until December 31, 2026.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council is proposed to adopt a revised delegation order, allowing the chair or specific appointed members to make certain social services decisions, such as urgent placements in foster homes for children and young people, instead of the full council. These changes aim to simplify and improve the decision-making process, partly due to a new Social Services Act and ongoing reorganizations.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council proposes to distribute a total of SEK 311,500 in association grants for environmental and climate work in 2026. Five associations will receive funding: Cykelfrämjandet, Hässelby Scoutkår, Riddersviks 4H, Svensk Eritreanska Förening i Västerort, and Unga Örnar. The funds are intended for initiatives such as promoting cycling, installing an air-source heat pump, developing circular economy activities, increasing recycling knowledge, and organizing environmental and climate camps for children and youth.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will review the March 2026 report, which the administration proposes be approved. The report indicates an overall balanced budget, though individual and family care is projected to have a 13 million SEK surplus primarily due to registered Ukrainian refugees. This surplus offsets a 7 million SEK deficit in elderly care and a 6 million SEK deficit in financial assistance.

The Skarpnäck District Council will consider several citizen proposals, including placing toy boxes with items like buckets and spades in some local playgrounds. Other suggestions involve building an outdoor gym for seniors at Skarpnäcksfältet and improving signage near Flaten and Söderbysjön.

This list covers several upcoming matters, including a citizen proposal to purchase toys for playgrounds. There are also protocol excerpts detailing revised guidelines for out-of-hours care and patient safety reports for LSS camps and healthcare, plus another citizen proposal to open a civic office in Bagarmossen.

The Järva City District Committee is set to address a notification regarding delegated decisions. This will include information on the procurement of emergency housing for homeless individuals through non-profit organizations, as well as the acquisition of security-enhancing technology for elderly care and group homes. Responses to referrals concerning a food truck at Kistagången 14 and excavation work at Gungbrinken 12-16 will also be provided.

The City Council will review the minutes from a meeting of theadevisory council for disability issues in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, Farsta, and Skarpnäck. The council discussed the availability of escorts, noting general satisfaction while acknowledging some individuals feel their needs are not fully met, even as the municipality adheres to guidelines. They also plan a safety walk in Skarpnäck after the summer and will address accessibility at the Skarpnäck civic office at their next meeting.

The Farsta District Council is set to review a proposed zoning plan for Högdalstopparna in Högdalen and Hökarängen, aimed at preserving the area for sports and recreation while creating a community garden with 40-45 allotments. While the District Administration supports the plan, it raises concerns about pollution risks and costs for the allotments at the proposed site, suggesting Gubbängsfältet as a safer and more cost-effective alternative for more allotments.

The Farsta City District Administration has submitted its statement regarding a revised guideline for child safety in Stockholm City's municipal preschools. The guideline aims to strengthen and standardize child safety work in preschools, and Farsta suggests clarifications on how safety areas link to preschool routines. They also propose grouping evacuation, invacuation, and lockout into their own safety area for clarity.

The Farsta City District Committee is to respond to the City Executive Board regarding new, clearer guidelines for financial assistance. These updated guidelines, which include the Stockholm standard for higher child benefits and clearer rules for SL travel cards and home insurance, aim to be more tailored to Stockholm and strengthen child and gender equality perspectives. While generally positive, the administration proposes clarifications, particularly concerning case handling for individuals without residence permits and those moving between districts.

The Farsta District Administration proposes that the City Executive Board approve new guidelines for allocating special housing under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), including social psychiatric supported housing. The aim is to create a clearer, more legally sound, and equitable process for residents needing these accommodations, while also clarifying responsibilities between the Social Welfare Administration and the district administrations. The guidelines detail procedures for handling expressions of interest, prioritizing urgent needs, and the process for offering and responding to housing placements.
