The social welfare board is closing two homes for people in adult care. This is done to be able to put more resources into initiatives for children and young people.
At the support housing Klostergatan there are 20 places for young adults who, due to, for example, mental illness, substance abuse or a criminal past, live to get on their feet, get a job and eventually their own household. The staff understands that priorities must be set, but that it is sad as they believe that supported housing makes a difference.
