jagvillhabostad.nu is Sweden's only housing policy association for young people. With us, you who are between 16-30 years old get a platform to influence housing policy, develop ideas and spread knowledge about rights in the housing market. We offer training and support to young people and promote our issues as an active voice in the housing debate.
jagvillhabostad.nu is non-partisan and non-religious and our activities are based on feminist, anti-racist and democratic principles with regard to climate and the environment.
Part of the association's activities is to inform young people about their rights in the housing market. We also support young people looking for housing with the means at our disposal: we compile lists of housing agencies and landlords and we collect tips on what to consider when looking for housing. We are also available to answer questions about the housing market and housing.
One of our main goals is to create an equal and fair housing market. We want to see a social housing policy now - a policy that shifts the focus from market forces to everyone's right to a safe home, adapted to their own needs. Therefore, we push our issues towards politicians, those in power and the industry as an active voice in the social and housing debate.
Through our work, we want to strengthen the commitment and knowledge of our cause among young people. Therefore, we hold training in housing policy and training relevant to young people's organizing, such as advocacy work, board work, association knowledge and leadership. We offer a housing academy for our active members, lectures for our members and external housing policy training for young people and those in power.
jagvillhabostad.nu är ett medlemsstyrt förbund som jobbar för att bostadssituationen för unga ska bli bättre både på kort och lång sikt runt om i Sverige. Förbundet består av förbundsstyrelsen, sex stycken lokalavdelningar och ett kansli. Vårt viktigaste uppdrag är att bevaka och agera utifrån ungas behov, rättigheter och intressen.
"A safe home for all young people that gives us freedom of choice and empowerment to shape our lives"
Housing is a human right enshrined in both the Swedish constitution and in international agreements that Sweden has adopted. Despite this, hundreds of thousands of young people today are without a home of their own; for many it is impossible to compete in a housing market that requires unreasonably long waiting times, large capital or the right contacts.
As a result, young people's lives and choices are severely restricted. Overall, the situation leads to increased insecurity, economic vulnerability and reduced opportunities for young people to benefit from other social protection and participation in society.
In jagvillhabostad.nu we fight for a more fair and equal housing market. Our goal is to ensure that all young people in Sweden have access to safe housing.
