The purpose of this study is to examine the interventions that Malmö multiplicity offers to individuals and families referred by the UN Refugee Agency forr esettlement, also known as quota refugees. Additionally, the study aimed to identify the establishment process, challenges and opportunities that occur duringthe integration process for both quota refugees and social workers who work with this group. A qualitative method was applied, and empirical data were collected through interviews with social workers and an socialeducator working at Malmö municipality. The data were categorized into four main themes: integration and establishment, interventions, challenges, and families with children. The empirical data from the informants were analyzed using Diaz's Integration Model (2017) and Antonovsky's Sense of Coherence (SOC) theory (2005) and were discussed in the context of previous research. The study addressed the following research questions: What specific interventions within Malmö municipality help facilitate the establishment and integration process for quota refugees? What challenges do professionals within Malmö municipality express regarding the establishment and integration of quota refugees into Swedish society? The study's results showed that interventions in Malmö multiplicity were divided into macro, meso, and micro levels. At the macro level, interventions included laws and guidelines from state agencies. At the meso level, municipal activities and organizations supporting various aspects of integration were included. At the micro level, interventions focused on direct support from social workers and socialeducator to quota refugees. Challenges for quota refugees included difficulties navigating bureaucratic systems, digitalization, previous experiences of authoritarian societies and individual factors of communication skills, work experiences, education and health. Professionals experienced challenges such as increased workload and collaboration to meet the needs of quota refugees and facilitate faster integration. However the greatest challenge lies in handling the macro and micro levels for everything to work.
