Ministry of Housing (Sweden)

The Ministry of Housing (Swedish: Bostadsdepartementet) is a ministry within the Swedish Government responsible for housing and construction matters. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Infrastructure (Swedish: Infrastrukturdepartementet).

The Ministry's responsibilities include policy development and implementation related to housing construction, urban planning, building regulations, and housing finance. It works to create conditions for sustainable housing development and aims to ensure access to affordable and adequate housing for all residents of Sweden.

The specific portfolio of the Minister responsible for housing can vary between governments, and the position is often held concurrently with responsibility for other policy areas within the Ministry of Infrastructure, such as transport or energy. The ministerial title might be Minister for Housing, Minister for Housing and Digital Development, or similar, reflecting the current government's priorities. The exact structure and responsibilities can also change depending on the governing coalition and their political agenda. The head of the Ministry of Infrastructure, however, is the ultimate responsible minister for the area.
