About the Department

The Work and Integration Unit (AI) handles cases concerning financial assistance, estate administration, budget and debt counseling, housing social contracts, integration, and labor market measures. The unit receives applications, conducts investigations and assessments, and makes decisions regarding potential assistance. Assistance can, for example, be financial assistance or a social rent contract. Assistance in the form of a housing social contract is time-limited and is followed up regularly. Regarding financial assistance, an action plan is established, which is followed up regularly and must be followed by the individual for them to be entitled to financial assistance.

Individuals who have difficulty entering the labor market may receive internships and work with wage subsidies to eventually become self-supporting. Individuals who are far from the labor market may receive activity placements and work training. We work with integration issues and receive quota refugees and assigned persons from the Swedish Migration Agency.
