All agenda items

The City Council has decided to proceed with the Smedshagen project in Hässelby Villastad. This entails the construction of approximately 500 new homes, comprising both rental and cooperative apartments, along with service premises and new parking solutions. Additionally, plans include new sidewalks, a nature playground, and measures to enhance safety in the area.

The City of Stockholm has approved a change in the contracting party and security for land development in Primusparken on Lilla Essingen. Klövern AB will now take over responsibility from Wästbygg Gruppen AB for approximately 90 apartments, becoming jointly liable to the city after purchasing the two properties. This ensures the continued progress of the project, which includes 550 new homes, a care home, a preschool, and a new waterfront promenade.

The city has approved a revised plan for Stadshagen on Västra Kungsholmen. The previously planned primary school will not be built, freeing up space to instead construct two full-sized 11-a-side pitches at Stadshagen IP, with a 7-a-side pitch moving to Tranebergsängen. Additionally, new housing or a care home is planned for the area.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed amending Stockholm's regulations for restaurants, nightclubs, and live venues, arguing that current rules like kitchen requirements and limited opening hours hinder the city's appeal, safety, and creativity. The Centre Party aims to simplify permit processes, allow year-round outdoor seating free of charge, and advocate for more liberal national regulations. The City Executive Board acknowledges ongoing work in these areas and the influence of national legislation, yet remains open to discussing modernization of regulations while maintaining safety and security.

This report lists new matters and protocols submitted to the City Executive Board between February 26 and March 11, 2026. New matters include proposals for housing in Bredäng, traffic changes for SL public transport, an invitation to consultation on Spårväg Syd (Southern Tramway), and motions concerning meat in public meals and social media in schools. The report also provides information on protocols from previous meetings.

This agenda serves as a notification of decisions made by the Elderly Care Committee under delegated authority during spring 2026. The decisions cover, among other things, funding for the "Elderly Care Boost" initiative, fee structures within elderly care, and the approval of new providers for the city's choice system for home care and residential care. Additionally, it includes a decision to halt new service orders from home care companies Allegio Omsorg AB and Safia Vård och Omsorg AB.

The Council for Disability Issues discussed several important matters, including the introduction of "FlyttFärdig," a new support service to assist adults with disabilities in moving out of their parents' homes. They also addressed efforts concerning mental health and suicide prevention in Stockholm and criticized a job advertisement for a sign language elder care advisor, arguing that the requirement for "very good spoken Swedish skills" could discriminate against deaf applicants.

The Municipal Council's Pensioners' Council (KPR) discussed key issues for Stockholm's elderly, including housing, home care, staffing shortages, and how seniors can exert influence. The council expressed criticism regarding insufficient influence and demanded clearer outcomes for preventing malnutrition, as well as more proactive measures against abuse in home care. They also requested more details on how a children's rights action plan impacts the work of the elderly services administration.

This is a notification of a meeting of the Elderly Care Administration's management group held on March 18, 2026. The meeting addressed internal personnel matters, including the application of salary principles and the introduction of new legislation regarding background checks for employees in elderly care. Radon measurements at the Uppbådet 1 property were also discussed.

The Elderly Care Committee has reviewed its monthly report for February 2026. The financial forecast for the elderly care administration projects a balanced budget, meaning expenditures are expected to match revenue. Minor deficits exist within the administrative department and for alarms and locks due to increased demand from more elderly residents, but these are covered internally by the administration. The investment budget of 3.8 million SEK is primarily allocated to replacing and installing emergency alarms.

The Elderly Care Committee has approved an action plan to strengthen children's rights and influence in Stockholm City until 2030. The plan aims for all children to have equal living conditions and to combat discrimination, focusing on knowledge, welfare/services, and participation. This includes the city working to reduce disparities in children's upbringing, ensure a child perspective in city operations, and improve children's access to culture, sports, and leisure, especially for those in vulnerable situations.

Liliane Åkerlund (SD) inquired if the municipality could prevent serious sexual offenses within home care services, where elderly users have been victims of severe crimes in their homes, arguing that current controls and procedures are inadequate. The Elderly Care Administration responded that while it is impossible to completely prevent crime, they are working to minimize risks. Starting March 1, 2026, a legal requirement for criminal record checks will be implemented for new hires in elderly care, improving the assessment of staff suitability, and the administration also highlights the importance of reference checks, active leadership, and low staff turnover for enhanced security.

The Stockholm City Council for the Elderly has decided to extend and clarify the Director of Elderly Care's authority for developing a new social services management system. This project, initiated in 2022, will now continue until the end of 2029 with an increased budget of 105 million SEK, totaling 255 million SEK. The Director of Elderly Care is now authorized to conduct procurements, finalize agreements, and implement the new system, which aims to enhance support for elderly care services within the city.

The Elderly Care Committee is reporting to the City Council on decisions concerning elderly care that were not implemented during the fourth quarter of 2025. A total of 261 decisions remained unimplemented. The most common reason for this was elderly individuals declining offers of special housing, often due to specific location preferences or not wishing to move at that time. Northern Inner City, Södermalm, and Kungsholmen had the highest number of unimplemented decisions, with 100% of unimplemented decisions in Järva, Kungsholmen, and Skärholmen attributed to individuals declining or having specific requests.

The Elderly Care Committee decides to adopt a new delegation of authority that regulates who can make decisions within elderly care. The new system includes a provision allowing department managers to decide on reports to the Swedish Healthcare and Social Welfare Inspectorate (IVO) if there's suspicion of operations being conducted without a permit or with serious deficiencies. Additionally, some editorial errors in the previous delegation of authority have been corrected.

The Elderly Care Committee has decided to allocate SEK 10.2 million from "Matlyftet" in 2026 to Stockholm's district administrations. These funds will be used to combat malnutrition and social isolation among the elderly through activities such as themed meals, outings, cooking groups, and other social gatherings. The allocation is based on the number of employees in elderly care within each district, and the districts will then decide on the exact activities.

The Social Welfare Committee of Stockholm City will procure new providers for LSS summer camps, which are short-term stays for individuals with disabilities such as high-functioning autism or intellectual disabilities. The camps offer recreation, social interaction, and respite for relatives, with current contracts expiring in 2027. The procurement aims to ensure continued high quality, safety, and a child rights perspective, and requires the use of organic food products when possible.

The Stockholm City Social Services Administration has approved participation in two international events and one EU project. Three representatives will attend the European Social Services Conference 2026 in Malta, with travel and accommodation costs covered by the city. Another representative will attend a working group meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria, where the European Social Network (ESN) will cover expenses. Finally, Stockholm City will sign a cooperation agreement with Y-Säätiö in Helsinki for an EU project focused on improving housing standards for single homeless individuals.

The Social Welfare Committee, in collaboration with other municipal departments, will procure training programs for staff on how to act during serious violent incidents, specifically "ongoing lethal violence" (PDV). These courses aim to equip employees with the skills to better prevent, detect, and manage violence, both individually and as an organization. Up to three companies will be contracted to provide this training.

The Social Services Administration, the Elderly Care Administration, and Forum Carpe are planning a joint procurement of higher education courses for their employees. This aims to ensure that staff in elderly care and social services receive better skills development in areas such as individual and family care, disability support, and elder care. The agreements, expected to begin in September 2026, will involve three suppliers tasked with offering these courses, following an expenditure of approximately 8.8 million SEK on training last year.
