Since the early 2000s, much focus has been placed on the plight of the youth, who have been offered supportive care such as employment, Ibasyo, and outreach. While studies have discussed the issue of young people’s housing, such issue has received little support. The actual situation is unclear, with no public assistance and some private organizations providing some support. Hence, this report aimed to clarify the kinds of residential support being offered to young people across Japan. This report is based on a survey of organizations that underwent interviews in March 2021. The survey results clarified that residential support for young people has been implemented from diverse backgrounds since 2010. Furthermore, user burden, forms for providing a living space, assignment of staff members, and rules for use were also summarized.
