Depending on the content of the consultation, we can introduce you to relevant organizations and accompany you to them. In order to receive support, we may need to confirm your situation in detail or submit documents, so please contact us first.

Self-reliance counseling and support:（自立相談支援）

A counselor listens to what you are struggling with, considers with you the support you need, and creates a specific plan based on your individual situation.

Employment (preparation) support:（就労（準備）支援）

We support the job hunting activities of people who want to work. For people who have difficulty finding work immediately due to physical problems, we also provide employment preparation support that starts with group work and work experience.

Support for improving household finances:（家計改善支援）

To enable clients to manage their own household finances, we create household finance revival plans, provide consultation support, and act as an intermediary to specialized institutions for debt consultation.

Payment of Housing Security Benefits:（住居確保給付金の支給）

This provides an amount equivalent to rent (excluding housing loans) for a certain period to people who are willing to look for work.

• Details of the benefit:
  An amount equivalent to three months' rent is paid. This can be extended for up to nine months (there is an upper limit to the amount).
• Eligibility:
  Those who are financially struggling due to unemployment, who have lost their home or are in danger of losing their home, and who are ‘looking for work’ are eligible (income and asset requirements apply).

In addition to the above support, we also provide ‘children's learning support’ for households on welfare (former teachers and volunteers work to improve academic ability and create a place for children to belong with their peers).
