Järva

The Järva City District Committee is proposed to approve plans for a new group home in the Hedvig block in Spånga. This residence will provide six apartments for individuals with disabilities requiring support under the LSS Act, with an estimated annual rent of approximately 1.4 million SEK, and is slated for completion in 2028.

The Järva District Council is to provide an opinion on the City Audit Office's 2025 annual report. The audit found that the council's finances are generally well managed, but that its operations are partly ineffective, particularly within social services and safety issues, and that internal controls are somewhat deficient. The council must respond to the audit by June 26, 2026, detailing planned actions based on the recommendations.

The Järva City District Council is set to review its first trimester report for 2026, covering the financial forecast and goal achievement for the first four months. The administration proposes approving the report for submission to the City Executive Board and auditors, while also recommending the council report changes in total appropriations of SEK 144.7 million, phase out the Bromstensgården cost center, and restructure preschool cost centers into seven units. The council expects to meet the City Council's three strategic goals and maintain a balanced budget, though continued efforts are needed for certain targets, such as satisfaction with leisure and cultural activities and safety.

The Social Welfare Administration and Järva City District Administration propose that their respective committees approve the planning of a new group home in the Hedvig block in Spånga, under the Support and Service Act (LSS). This new facility, expected to be completed in 2028 with an annual rent of approximately SEK 1.4 million, will create six new apartments for people with disabilities, addressing the city's significant housing shortage for this group.

The Social Services Department proposes a temporary grant of SEK 248,000 to Tensta Konsthall for July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. This funding is for "Accessible Art with Studio funk," a program designed to provide inclusive art experiences for children, youth, and adults with disabilities in Järva and other parts of Stockholm. The initiative includes tactile tours, free art Saturdays, sign language and audio-described openings, and easy-to-read exhibition texts.

The Fryshuset Foundation applied for a prolonged temporary grant of SEK 150,000 for their "Meeting Place in Husby" program, which supports mothers and children in Järva by strengthening parenting and offering activities. The Social Affairs Department proposes approving the grant for July 1 to December 31, 2026, as the program has operated as planned and meets the criteria for a longer operational grant in the future.

The Board of Svenska Bostäder will consider a proposal to procure facade and balcony work in Tensta. Since the estimated cost for this procurement exceeds 50 million SEK, the Board needs to authorize the CEO to sign the award decision and contract with the chosen supplier. This signifies planned renovations of facades and balconies for residents in Tensta.

The Board of Svenska Bostäder is to approve the first quarterly report for 2026, which shows a higher projected full-year profit than budgeted and investment volumes in line with the budget. Although no new apartments were completed during the period, 92 apartments in Kvarndammen 6 and 7 in Rinkeby are now expected to be ready for occupancy sooner than planned.

The City Council is proposed to approve the construction of a temporary sports hall at Dalhagen sports field in Husby. This hall, estimated to cost over 50 million SEK and to be completed by Q2 2027, will replace Husby sports hall during its demolition for the new Husbybadet. Designed for sports like basketball, floorball, handball, and school sports, the temporary hall could potentially remain for up to 15 years even after new permanent sports halls are built in Husby.

AB Familjebostäder's first interim report shows a net financial result of SEK 51 million for the first four months, lower than last year due to increased depreciation and interest costs. However, the full-year forecast is expected to meet the SEK 137 million profit target, despite some uncertainties following the acquisition of AB Hjulstahem and its 1,200 apartments.

Stockholm Business Region AB proposes a 2 MSEK investment in the ESSH (European Startup and Scaleup Hubs) pilot project for 2026, contingent on EU funding. This project aims to enhance collaboration among Europe's leading deep tech startup and scaleup hubs, connecting Stockholm's hub (KTH Ventures/KTH Innovation, Sting, and Kista Science City) with 17 others. This initiative will help Stockholm attract talent and companies by strengthening its position within the European deep tech ecosystem.

Svenska kraftnät has applied for a new temporary network concession for a 13.8 km 220 kV double power line between Hagby and Järva. The city of Stockholm supports extending the concession, which expired in 2021, given the line's importance for electricity supply until a new, reinforced grid is established and the current line can be dismantled. However, Stockholm points out inaccuracies in the application regarding the line's current route in Kista and requests broader concession areas near the E4 to facilitate a national football center.

The Moderates, via Christofer Fjellner, propose that the City Executive Board urgently address Kista's negative development concerning company relocations, safety, and attractiveness, requesting crisis talks, a status report, and a concrete crisis plan. The City Executive Board responds that extensive work is already underway to transform Kista into a vibrant mixed-use city with more housing, establishing a property development company and a Kista Advisory Board to attract new establishments and enhance the area's appeal.

The Real Estate Committee approved a status report for the construction of the new Akalla Sports Hall in the Järva area. While welcoming the hall, the Moderates and Liberals expressed concern over a six-month delay, pushing completion from Q1 2027 to December 2027 due to a contractor change. They demanded clearer follow-up on the timeline, cost risks, and flexibility for additional sports, emphasizing good accessibility and social functions like cafés to create a safe and vibrant meeting place.

The Real Estate Committee approved the Real Estate Department's statement responding to a letter about the renovation of Eggeby stable. The Liberals, through Hansi Karppinen, thanked them for the answer but stressed the importance of ensuring the stable's continued operation and exploring all possibilities for long-term sustainable management, even independently of any expansion plans, given the stable's significance as a meeting place in Järva.

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.

In a motion, Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes developing Kista into the Nordic total defense center, citing concerns over businesses leaving and high vacancy rates despite its potential. He suggests a strategic investment in urban development, housing, businesses, and infrastructure, alongside city-government collaboration to attract defense-related entities. The City Executive Board proposes responding by referencing existing efforts in Kista, which already include strengthening the defense sector among other tech areas, and extensive work to make Kista a more attractive, vibrant, and safe mixed-use city.

The City Council is set to decide on the direction for the New Husbybadet project. The current Husbybadet will be demolished due to construction defects and replaced with a new, modern facility on the Bislet 1 property, next to the existing bath. The new complex, featuring a 25-meter pool, two teaching pools, and an adventure bath, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2031, with the existing bath remaining operational for most of the construction period.

The City Council will vote on an updated implementation decision for thela project in Kista, located between Grönlandsgatan and Isafjordsgatan. This project, part of Fokus Järva, involves new office buildings, a residential building, new streets, and an upgrade to Grönlandsparken to enhance the area's attractiveness and safety. The City Development Administration proposes increasing the budget for Grönlandsparken's upgrade by approximately 10 million SEK, bringing the total project cost to 78.3 million SEK, with the Liberals supporting the development but expressing concern over rising costs and advocating for better financial control.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve the construction of a themed playground, "The Time Journey – From Sea to Home," in southern Spångadalen, between Tensta, Rinkeby, and Bromsten, costing approximately SEK 84.7 million. This park, designed in dialogue with local residents, is slated for completion in 2028, following a minority referral where the opposition criticized the project's high costs and short timeline.
