More and more attention has been paid to group living as a means of dealing with the problem of elderly people living in public housing. For future construction of group living for elderly, it is necessary to discuss effective ways of supporting the housing in the planning stage. This research discusses how to support public group living in the planning stage. Osaka Prefectural Kadomamidou Freai Housing has been chosen as the subject of the research. The effect of support employed at the collective housing has been analyzed. The result of the analysis shows that offering relevant information to the residents before they move in the housing and giving financial support for the use of commonly shared space have influence on the residents' community life. This research argues how important it is to incorporate these two kinds of support into the planning stage of constructing group living.
