The S group’s proposal: Demolish housing and introduce income requirements in vulnerable areas

1. National census

2. Introduce a national list with targeted management of vulnerable areas in Sweden

The list is to form the basis of the Swedish negotiations on vulnerable areas

3. The Sweden negotiation: A Sweden without vulnerable areas

All municipalities that have vulnerable areas must enter into and sign agreements with the state on relevant efforts to physically transform vulnerable areas

4. Introduce income requirements in all vulnerable areas

The requirements mean that both public and private housing companies may not accept the move-in of people whose income in the last 6 months has been subsistence allowance.

5. More tenancies and lower thresholds

• Lowered threshold for moving into tenements outside vulnerable areas

• Appoint an investigation with the task of presenting proposals for how the share of the public good in the total stock should increase.

6. Priority for people with academic credentials in vulnerable areas

Introduce priority in the housing queue for apartments in vulnerable areas for people with academic credentials.

7. National ceiling for the proportion of rental properties in vulnerable areas.

8. More villas, terraced houses, terraced houses and semi-detached houses in vulnerable areas

Government credit guarantees for new construction of villas, terraced houses, terraced houses and semi-detached houses in vulnerable areas

9. Government upgrading of the million program vulnerable areas

• State credit guarantees for reconstruction.

• New rules for rebuilding as requirements to meet new construction standards work against sustainable construction when retrofitting existing stock.

• Targeted ROT support for refurbishment of rental properties and outdoor environments in vulnerable areas.

10. Municipal right of pre-emption for strategic land

11. More cheap rental properties in residential areas without socio-economic challenges
