Info about our local chapters

Why is your involvement needed?

Housing is a human right enshrined in both the Swedish constitution and in international agreements that Sweden has adopted. Yet hundreds of thousands of young people today are without their own housing; for many it is impossible to compete in a market that requires unreasonably long waiting times, large capital or the right contacts. As a result, young people's lives and choices are severely limited.

In jagvillhabostad.nu we are therefore fighting for a fairer and more equal housing market with the goal that ALL young people should be able to live safely. We do this through political advocacy, support for young people and education.
