Local Care Budgets Facing Shortfalls, Other Areas Surplus

Farsta District Council approved its financial report for February 2026, which anticipates a balanced overall budget for the year after internal adjustments. However, individual and family care (driven by costly placements for children and youth) and elder care (due to increased needs and lost income from closed Postiljonen nursing home apartments) face deficits. These are offset by surpluses in preschool, urban environment, and disability services.
