New help for families with children and youth

The City of Stockholm is updating its guidelines for financial assistance, as the previous ones were from 2017. The new guidelines are clearer, focus on what is specific to Stockholm, and incorporate updates based on new legislation, aiming for more legally sound and equitable processing. Key changes include a "Stockholm norm" providing additional funds for food and leisure for children and youth aged 0-20, a special summer holiday allowance for children in families with long-term financial assistance, and ensuring that habilitation and apprentice compensation will not be counted as income when calculating assistance.
