Social Democrats promise more housing for young people with new queue model

The demand has long been one of the youth organisation SSU's most important housing policy demands.

"With this election promise, young people finally become a prioritised target group in housing policy. It is a victory for all young people who have been excluded from the housing market," says Moska Hassas, chairman of SSU, in a press release.

The proposal means that the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning will develop a national model for youth apartments in which more small and affordable rental apartments are reserved for young people instead of being allocated solely according to queue time.
