The administration for functional support in Gothenburg, Sweden, has reversed its decision and will allow Axel Agnred, who has autism and an intellectual disability, to remain in his housing. Earlier this year, Gothenburg city decided that Axel Agnred's support needs were no longer extensive enough for housing with special service. The case has prompted the administration to review how conflicting principles should be handled.
The city's earlier assessment that Axel's needs did not suffice for LSS housing drew strong criticism from both municipal politicians and the government.
