Public Housing Sweden - what is it?
Skebo, together with about 300 other municipal housing companies, is a member of Public Housing Sweden. As the name suggests, the companies must be run in a way that benefits the public by offering a varied range that meets different housing needs. The most important task of the housing companies in Public Housing Sweden is to build sustainable and affordable housing that is accessible to everyone.
In addition, many public housing companies play an important role as community builders and as a positive force in development. This can involve anything from integration and climate issues to creating positive opportunities for young people.
Unlike municipal companies in other areas, the businesses must be commercially operated in order to compete on equal terms with other operators in the housing market.
