- It is a heavy message to both leave and receive. Jönköping has a well-functioning business with valued employees. The fact that Jönköping became relevant has to do with the fact that for some time now we have closed down many temporary homes and that closure will continue, says Tobias Lundin acting. regional manager in the East in a press release.

In Jönköping, there are two units that are affected with a total of 40 employees. The offices in Mariestad, Borås and Högsby in Kalmar County are also affected by the Swedish Migration Board's plans. How many people will be laid off is currently unclear.

Message in September

A possible decision on closure will be made by the Swedish Migration Agency's Director General Mikael Ribbenvik in mid-September.

In June this year, the Swedish Migration Agency had just over 20,000 places to live in construction housing, corridor housing and arrival housing. In January 2022, the plan is for the number of homes to have halved.
