A risk of increased homelessness and children who may need to move and change school. This is a consequence that the real estate office has seen happen when the four-year contracts for the newly arrived in so-called review apartments expire next year.
This is a total of 2,700 new arrivals and 850 of them are children. The political views on how to solve the housing situation are falling apart.
- We think people should be able to stay there. We believe it is good for those who live, but also for society at large, better for integration. Here is someone who has lived here for four years, they have been able to create a network, with neighbors, school and friends. Then the big problem is that there is no housing for everyone in general, says Emmali Jansson (MP) Deputy Chairman of the Real Estate Board.
- Of course, this is an aspect, but we have not built new housing for the new arrivals who come to the city. Those homes are intended for that group and then we must be able to offer them. It might be possible to look at extending for example for families with children. But a general extension I think will be very difficult because we do not have the housing in the city. Many people need housing, says Elisabet Lann (KD), municipal council.
