Improving Social Services: Accessibility, Prevention, and Faster Help

The Moderates in Hägersten-Älvsjö inquired about the progress of implementing the new Social Services Act, effective July 1, 2025, which aims for a more accessible, preventative, and individualized social service with faster interventions and less bureaucracy. The Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration responded that an action plan will be established in January 2026, noting efforts to strengthen open care for children and youth, employ an elder care coordinator, and collaborate with other districts to standardize services. The district has received approximately 6.7 million SEK and anticipates an additional 13 million SEK in government funding for this transition in 2026.
