Planning for more housing for disabled and mentally ill

The City of Stockholm has reviewed a Sweco forecast regarding the need for supported housing and residential care for individuals with disabilities and mental health issues between 2026 and 2035. The forecast indicates an approximate 19% increase in demand, reaching nearly 2,400 people by 2035, particularly within the inner city. A deficit of such housing already exists, and the demand is expected to continue exceeding availability across several categories.
