Housing mediation and priority access for certain groups

The election manifesto explicitly establishes that it must be a right to receive help with a long-term secure housing solution for those leaving violence. The counter-proposal's demands for clearer guidelines and greater priority for victims of violence and families with children are a direct expression of that commitment. The plan furthermore sees housing as a right for every person, which strengthens the conclusion.

• right to housing when experiencing violencedecisive»Vänsterpartiet anser att det därutöver måste vara en rättighet att få hjälp med en långsiktig trygg boendelösning för den som behöver det för att lämna våldsutsatthet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party believes that it must furthermore be a right to receive help with a long-term secure housing solution for those who need it to leave violence.”
• housing as a way out of violence»Ett ökat statligt ansvar för att bygga bort bostadsbristen kommer också att göra det möjligt för många av de kvinnor som idag inte har något boendealternativ att lämna den bostad som hon delar med en förövare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“An increased state responsibility for eliminating housing shortage will also make it possible for many of the women who today have no housing alternative to leave the home they share with an abuser.”

The party programme views housing as a social right and makes housing supply a social responsibility, and all children shall have the right to a safe upbringing according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The election manifesto's strong action against male violence against women strengthens the demand that victims of violence quickly get housing. The fact that the plan warns against special solutions for resource-poor areas in segregation work somewhat qualifies the support.

The election manifesto promises a way out for abuse victims across the country, where responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated directly after the break, and a national strategy to reduce homelessness. The party programme establishes that everyone has the right to housing and that housing policy shall prevent segregation. Clearer guidelines and greater room for priority for abuse victims and families with children follows directly from these commitments.

• coordinated housing for abuse victimsdecisive»skapa en dörr ut för våldsutsatta i hela landet, så att ansvaret för skydd, boende och vård samordnas direkt efter uppbrottet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“create a way out for abuse victims across the country, so that responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated directly after the break.”

• housing policy against segregation»Miljöpartiets bostadspolitik ska motverka segregation och främja lika rättigheter.« (party programme ↗)“The Green Party's housing policy shall prevent segregation and promote equal rights.”

The plan commits to strengthening the victim-of-crime perspective and that violence victims should receive better support, protected housing, and protection for their family. Greater priority in the housing queue for violence victims and families with children is a means in that direction. At the same time the plan wants a housing market characterised by mobility and low barriers, so the support is derived and uncertain.

• support for crime victimsdecisive»Det är också viktigt att brottsoffer får bättre stöd och att eftervåldet bekämpas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is also important that crime victims receive better support and that post-violence is combated.”
• protected housing»Kvinnojourer, tjejjourer och skyddade boenden behöver mer och permanent finansiering för att kunna fortsätta sitt viktiga arbete.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women's hotlines, girls' hotlines, and protected housing need more and permanent funding to continue their important work.”
• the child's security»Särskilt viktigt är att värna varje barns rätt att bli respekterad och att bli sedd för den man är.« (party programme ↗)“It is especially important to protect every child's right to be respected and to be seen for who they are.”
• mobile housing market»präglas av rörlighet, låga trösklar, långsiktighet och mångfald.« (party programme ↗)“characterised by mobility, low barriers, long-term perspective, and diversity.”

The election manifesto promises a new system with housing for groups with particularly large housing needs, explicitly those affected by violence and families with very weak finances. The counter-proposal's demand for clearer priority in the housing queue for precisely these groups carries the same commitment. The plan also wants to strengthen preventive work against eviction of families with children and introduce national support for safe housing.

• housing for vulnerable groupsdecisive»ett nytt system med behovsbostäder ska införas för grupper med särskilt stora bostadsbehov, såsom våldsutsatta och familjer med mycket svag ekonomi« (2022 manifesto ↗)“a new system with housing shall be introduced for groups with particularly large housing needs, such as those affected by violence and families with very weak finances”

The plan requires that women, men and children subjected to violence in close relationships are given adequate support and protection and that children have the right to a safe upbringing environment. It moreover obligates state and municipality to ensure housing provision for all and points particularly to low-wage families with children. Clearer guidelines and greater scope for priority for precisely these groups follows from these commitments.

• protection for those subjected to violencedecisive»nära relation ska ges adekvat stöd och skydd.« (party programme ↗)“close relationship shall be given adequate support and protection.”
• children's safe upbringing»Barn har rätt till en trygg uppväxtmiljö.« (party programme ↗)“Children have the right to a safe upbringing environment.”
• housing for vulnerable groups»Lågavlönade barnfamiljer, pensionärer och studerande måste ges möjligheter till en god bostadsstandard.« (party programme ↗)“Low-wage families with children, pensioners and students must be given opportunities for good housing standards.”
• ensured housing provision»bostadsförsörjningen åt alla, i olika åldrar och med olika sociala och ekonomiska förutsättningar.« (party programme ↗)“housing provision for all, at different ages and with different social and economic conditions.”

The plan does not address priority in housing queues. Its housing policy seeks to solve the housing shortage through reforms that increase construction and through rents that better reflect tenants' valuations, not through political distribution of queue places. Support for victims of violence is provided in the plan through strengthened women's shelters and protection in legal proceedings. Derived from this, the plan rejects the requirement.

• build away housing shortagedecisive»Vi vill genomföra reformer som ökar byggandet av såväl hyressom bostadsrätter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to carry out reforms that increase construction of both rental apartments and condominiums.”
• market-based rent-setting»Möjliggöra mer rättvisa hyror genom att potentiella hyresgästers värdering av boendet ges större vikt« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Enable more just rents by giving prospective tenants' valuation of housing greater weight”
• support for abuse victims»Fortsätta stärka kvinnojourerna« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Continue to strengthen women's shelters”

The plan wants to establish an action plan for those subjected to violence in close relationships, emphasizes that the child's best interest should always be considered and identifies homelessness as a prioritized social issue. Expanded priority access for violence victims and families with children follows from these commitments. The plan's objection to priority access explicitly concerns newcomers and therefore does not affect these groups, but makes the support less certain.
