We are all different. We are all also alike and have the same right to a safe home, meaningful employment, and to feel valuable. This is how we develop and can participate in society. People with disabilities should be able to live a good and independent life. A life like everyone else's.

With 6,000 employees, we are Sweden's largest disability support administration. We make decisions about and work within housing with special services, daily activities, employment, housing support, personal assistance, various forms of respite, support, and guidance. We actively work to develop and spread knowledge within the City of Gothenburg and to others. In this way, we all become better at understanding needs and providing the right support. Together, we ensure that more can live a good and independent life like everyone else.

Welcome to become one of us! You are Gothenburg.
