State measures to tackle the housing crisis and weak construction activity
What's at stake: The decision affects people looking for housing, particularly in rural areas and regions with weak housing markets, as well as a construction sector grappling with a sharp drop in new building. If the motions are rejected, the issue continues to be handled through existing support schemes and ongoing inquiries rather than new, more far-reaching state initiatives.

What the vote decides
The question is whether parliament should call for further targeted state measures — such as a state-owned property company, a housing commission and new financing tools for housing construction — to address the housing crisis, or whether this should be left to already ongoing preparatory work and announced measures.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee points to the 2020 credit-guarantee regulation, which already contains rules for calculating the guarantee to ease financing of new construction and renovation in weak markets, as well as to ongoing preparatory work within the Government Offices on proposals for subsidised credit-guarantee fees in transition and establishment municipalities, budget funds for housing-policy development in northern Sweden, state market-complementing top-up loans via Almi, and state top-up loans with partial municipal loss liability. The committee considers that this ongoing work should not be pre-empted, and rejects the motions.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 1 (S)
The reservation (S) calls for a state-owned property company that can build and acquire properties nationwide and act as a buffer during downturns, a joint housing commission bringing together the construction industry, labour-market parties and politicians, and forceful state measures against the housing crisis, since a decent home should be a social right for everyone.

Riksdag decision: Parliament rejected approximately 160 proposals concerning housing policy in motions from the general motion period 2024.
The proposals concern, among other things, measures on the housing market, financing of housing construction, housing construction associated with green industrial establishment, and circular economy in the construction and real estate sector.
Parliament refers, among other things, to the fact that work is already underway on many of the issues that the proposals concern.
Counter-proposals
The counter-proposal wants a state-owned property company to acquire and build properties throughout the country and a housing commission to address the housing crisis. (S) — Reservation 1
