Älvsby municipality with its 8,000 inhabitants has stated that it has 367 housing places available, while Luleå with its 78,867 inhabitants has 130 housing places.

Kiruna has stated that they have 300-400 places and according to municipal councilor Gunnar Selberg (C), the municipality must have a complete agreement with LKAB to use the old Hotell Ferrum for temporary accommodation.

Some municipalities do not report their places

During the inventory, Boden and Kalix municipality had not provided any information on the number of places they could make available.

During the week, we reported that the municipality of Boden has arranged about 50 seats and that a major inventory has been carried out to investigate possible locations in, for example, sports halls in the municipality.

Kalix investigates number of places

Patrik Fallström, head of security in Kalix municipality, states that when asked, they had little time to submit a detailed answer to the County Administrative Board and that at present there is no ready-made result to go out with.

- We are currently screening the municipality and inventorying how many places we can have available.

It should be added that we have not yet received a formal assignment to arrange temporary accommodation, he says.

Since the statistics were compiled on 10 March, the County Administrative Board of Norrbotten has issued another request until 25 March, when the municipalities will once again provide more detailed information on temporary accommodation.
