The Guardianship Board approved the Guardianship Administration's recommendation, endorsing the City Executive Board's proposal for the "Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030." The Christian Democrats fully rejected the plan, arguing it focused excessively on ideology and bureaucracy rather than practical issues. The Moderates partially approved it but found the action plan unclear, lacking concrete measures, and prioritizing incorrectly.

The Board of Micasa Fastigheter i Stockholm AB approved the budget proposal for 2027 and the strategic direction for 2028 and 2029 at its meeting on April 22, 2026. This establishes a financial plan for the company for the coming years, including the reports appended to the decision.
The Micasa Fastigheter i Stockholm AB board meeting on April 22, 2026, addressed the financial monthly report for February 2026, provided by the City Management Office. The report was filed for information, meaning it was noted without further action or decision regarding its contents.
The Micasa Fastigheter i Stockholm AB board approved additional owner directives, introducing several new city guidelines. Micasa will now follow Stockholm's chemical plan for 2025-2031 and a new business policy. Importantly for residents, new play value guidelines for designing preschool and schoolyards and an action plan for housing provision have been adopted, along with new guidelines for mobility and parking in new developments.
The City Council will review the Disability Council's meeting minutes from February 10, 2026. The Council, comprising housing companies, the housing agency, and disability organizations, noted that housing companies exceeded their target for accessibility-certified apartments and discussed creating an action plan for tenants with hoarding issues to prevent evictions.
The Preschool Committee established a budget document for 2027–2029 outlining the development and challenges of preschools in Stockholm, specifically addressing key areas like staffing, equitable preschools, and facility provision, with a particular focus on declining child populations. Several parties formally reserved their positions against the decision, presenting alternative proposals including language tests for recruitment, measures against welfare crime, and a clearer investment in physical teaching materials.
The Preschool Committee approved the administration's proposal to issue a positive statement on the City Executive Board's referral of the "Action Plan for a Gender-Equal Stockholm 2030," which aims to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all Stockholmers regardless of gender. However, the Liberals, Centre Party, Moderates, and Sweden Democrats entered reservations, arguing the plan was too general, lacked clear goals and concrete measures, and insufficiently integrated issues like men's violence against women and the situation of people with disabilities.
The Preschool Committee approved the administration's statement on the report "Principals in Focus – Conditions for Pedagogical Leadership (SOU 2026:4)," which will now be sent to the City Executive Board. While generally positive about proposals to strengthen principals' pedagogical leadership and reduce staff turnover, the statement noted that some suggestions, like limiting principals' responsibilities and preventing delegation of personnel responsibility to assistant principals, could impact current preschool organization in district administrations.
The Preschool Committee approved the administration's report regarding the referral on stricter conditions for the independent school sector. While largely agreeing with the proposals to ensure high-quality operations in independent preschools and schools, the administration expressed concern about increased workload for municipalities and that some proposals might favor larger operators.
The Social Welfare Committee approved the Social Administration's response to a letter from Andrea Hedin (M) and others. The letter highlighted that convicted individuals, including those with backgrounds in gang crime and sex offenses, have been placed in children's activities as part of community service. The administration stated that they ensure the suitability of staff and volunteers through guidelines, application procedures, and follow-up, and require associations to describe their routines for requesting criminal record extracts.
The Stockholm Social Welfare Committee approved the Social Welfare Administration's response regarding the implementation of new secrecy legislation, effective December 1, 2025. This legislation aims to facilitate information sharing between social services, schools, and police to prevent youth crime, but the administration noted an ongoing need for support and training to ensure its lawful application. Committee members further emphasized the importance of continuously monitoring the law's impact, particularly on vulnerable groups, to prevent individuals from avoiding seeking help.
The Social Welfare Committee approved a report in response to a letter from the Liberals, Moderates, and Centre Party regarding the safety, quality, and trustworthiness of housing support services. The administration addressed concerns about ensuring quality, safety, and protection against undue influence by detailing their systematic work, including supplier controls, competence requirements for staff (with criminal record checks possible from March 2026), and procedures for handling threats, violence, and abuse.
The Stockholm Social Welfare Committee has appointed Fanny Björck (MP) as a new member of its Individual Affairs Subcommittee for the remainder of 2026. This by-election was held after Magnus Runsten (MP) resigned his position on the subcommittee.
The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm approved a revised delegation of authority, effective April 27, 2026. This update clarifies decision-making within the social services administration, particularly regarding GDPR and the new cybersecurity law, including new rules for personal data breaches. It also specifies who can make decisions on child placements and interventions under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS).
The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm has appointed Malin Falk Langton as the Medically Responsible for Rehabilitation (MAR), effective July 1, 2026. This appointment addresses a new legal requirement for all municipalities to have an MAR to ensure medical expertise and patient safety in municipal rehabilitation. As a licensed physical therapist, Malin Falk Langton will oversee rehabilitation efforts in areas such as housing with special services under the LSS and Social Services Acts.
The Stockholm Social Welfare Committee approved a temporary halt to new applications for local development projects (LUM) for 2027. This pause will allow for an evaluation of how these funds can best support a knowledge-based social service in line with the new Social Services Act. The committee also approved the reports for ten concluded LUM projects and twelve study trips (MUL) from 2025, which included initiatives like supporting indebted youth and increasing participation for people with disabilities, while ongoing projects can still apply for funding for up to three years.
The Social Welfare Committee approved the March 2026 monthly forecast, which projects the committee's overall finances for 2026 will be balanced. While some shortfalls are expected in homelessness and addiction services, as well as on-call and advisory activities, these will be covered within the committee's existing budget. The committee plans to apply for additional funding for LSS summer camps and newly arrived individuals later in the year.
The Stockholm Social Services Committee approved a budget proposal for 2027, with orientations for 2028 and 2029, which includes an analysis of social services' future development, legislative changes, strategic needs, and challenges. The proposal was approved despite reservations from the Liberal, Moderate, Centre, and Christian Democrats, who, among other things, called for more long-term work with children and youth, better coordination, and measures to address shortcomings in digitalization and housing for people with disabilities.
The Social Welfare Committee approved the Social Welfare Administration's response to the City Executive Board's referral regarding the introduction of digital personnel files city-wide. The administration sees numerous benefits in this digitalization, aiming for more efficient and secure handling of personnel documents. Several politicians, including those from the Liberal Party, Centre Party, and Moderate Party, submitted special statements emphasizing the importance of thoroughness, security, and learning from past digitalization projects to prevent new issues.
The Social Welfare Committee approved the Social Services Department's proposal for a new "Program for Events in the City of Stockholm," aiming to strengthen Stockholm's position as an event city and coordinate work on event-related issues, focusing on value creation, sustainable development, and quality of life for residents. This decision was made despite calls from L and M for referral back due to a lack of industry consultation, and reservations from C and SD regarding the program's general wording and lack of concrete actions.
