The Real Estate Committee noted the minutes from the Council for Disability Issues meetings on March 18 and April 15, 2026.

The Labor Market Committee approved a report on the "District Sisters" pilot project, which aimed to empower young women with immigrant backgrounds and improve their chances for employment or studies. The project, which ran from 2024–2025 in Järva and Skärholmen with six employed District Sisters, showed positive results regarding the sisters' personal development and ability to reach the target group. The committee noted the report, taking no new action but identifying areas for improvement should the project be implemented again.

The Labour Market Committee approved an evaluation report on a pilot project that extended employment for "stadsdelsmammor" (neighbourhood mothers) from one year to two. The report showed that the longer employment period significantly boosted their personal and professional development, improved their language and digital skills, and increased their chances of entering the labour market, while also providing greater security and continuity for residents in their working areas.

The Labour Market Committee decided against launching its own investigation into shortage occupations in Stockholm, as proposed by member Christina Tufvesson (L). The administration believes it already has sufficient data from various sources and that collaboration with other actors is more crucial. While the Liberals sought a Stockholm-specific analysis with concrete measures, the committee voted for the administration's proposal, with Christina Tufvesson dissenting.

The Labor Market Committee reviewed a letter from Johan Kling (C) regarding the impact of "competence expulsions" on Stockholm's labor supply. The administration stated they lacked sufficient data to analyze the effects on businesses and Stockholm's competitiveness due to unavailable statistics. The committee unanimously decided to refer to the administration's statement as its response, despite the Center Party's concerns about unanswered questions and the government's new wage floor potentially worsening the situation.

The Liberals proposed a new industry council for Stockholm to coordinate labor market issues with businesses, unions, and educators. However, the Labor Market Administration found existing regional councils, like Kompetensarena Stockholm, already fulfill the city's needs and saw no need for a new one. While the committee approved the administration's assessment, the administration noted a need for city-wide collaboration forums for skills provision in elderly care, preschools, and disability services.

The Labor Market Committee decided to refer to the administration's statement in response to a letter from Christina Tufvesson (L) regarding the launch of a pilot program.

The administration noted they already conduct similar initiatives for youth and collaborate with civil society, but currently lack a mandate to investigate such a specific pilot program.

The Labour Market Committee approved the Guidance Unit's participation in the 2026 Quality Award. This award aims to encourage systematic quality work and long-term sustainable development within the city, as well as to highlight good examples. The Guidance Unit is part of Adult Education Stockholm.

The Labour Market Committee unanimously decided to approve the relocation of Jobbtorg sydväst to new premises at Bodholmsgången 7 in Skärholmen centre. This move from Ekholmsvägen 34 will provide more suitable, accessible premises that are better adapted to the centre's operations and target group, and will also save approximately 400,000 SEK annually.

The Labor Market Committee approved its first tertial report for 2026, indicating progress in getting more Stockholm residents into work and studies, with increased enrollment at Jobbtorg Stockholm and improved adult education results. The committee also requested budget adjustments totaling 196.4 million SEK for increased state grants for refugee reception and the National Agency for Education, and decided to change a target value for labor law conditions in procurements. Members from the Center Party, Moderates, and Liberals acknowledged the administration but highlighted persistent high unemployment, the need for more focus on theoretical subjects in adult education, and a deeper analysis of the increase in in-house adult education.

The Labor Market Committee reviewed the City Auditors' Annual Report for 2025 and concluded that the committee's operations have largely been conducted in an appropriate and economically satisfactory manner. However, the auditors noted some areas for development, particularly regarding contract follow-up, systematic work environment efforts, and payroll management. The committee decided to refer to the administration's statement as its opinion and agreed to take action according to the auditors' recommendations.

The Labor Market Committee has decided to award the 2026 Nelson Mandela Prize to FoC Farsta Football Club. The prize, established in 1998, recognizes the best contribution to integration in Stockholm, aiming to highlight good initiatives that foster connections between new and established Stockholm residents.

The Real Estate Department and the Sports Administration have submitted a consultation statement regarding a new detailed plan for Högdalstopparna. While they are positive about the area being designated for outdoor recreation and allotments, they request larger areas for sports to develop the popular BMX activities. The departments believe the current proposal limits the facility's function and future development, especially given its status as a national resource.

At the meeting, City Commissioner for Traffic Lars Strömgren (MP) responded to an interpellation from Therese Lindström (M) regarding traffic problems in southern Stockholm. Commissioner Strömgren provided an answer to the question Lindström had previously posed and which the City Council had approved for submission.

The City Council is poised to approve plans to convert Building C at Fruängsgården 1 in Fruängen into a larger care home with 97 apartments, replacing the existing 41-unit service house which will be phased out due to decreased demand. This renovation, expected to run from 2030 to 2031, aims to address the city's growing need for care facilities, with current residents being relocated during construction.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve the renovation and conversion of Trehörningen 1 in Gröndal, currently Trekanten service house with 100 apartments, into a nursing and care home with 92 apartments. This will take place between 2027 and 2030, as the service house is being phased out due to extensive renovation needs and an increased demand for nursing and care places. Current residents will be offered priority for other housing options.

The City Executive Board is set to review a proposal from Micasa Fastigheter and the Skarpnäck District Council to construct a new care home in Bergholmsbacken, Bagarmossen. This extensive project, with an estimated investment exceeding 300 million SEK, will feature 80 apartments for the elderly, along with facilities for day activities and a senior meeting point, and will also require approval from the City Council.

The City Council is set to consider approving Familjebostäder AB's renovation of 178 homes and twelve commercial premises in the Draget 1 property on Södermalm. This 434-million-kronor project is necessary as the building's plumbing, electricity, and elevators, dating back to 1924, have reached the end of their technical lifespan. Existing tenants will be temporarily relocated during construction and will then have the option to choose from three different kitchen renovation levels, with some components potentially being reused.
