Overview of the system of excellent rental housing for the elderly

※Recruitment of new businesses has been closed.

Based on the government's “Regional Excellent Rental Housing System Guidelines”, Yokohama City cooperates with private businesses to provide rental housing that elderly households can move in with an appropriate rent burden with peace of mind. We have implemented a rental housing system. By subsidizing maintenance costs and rent reduction subsidies, we will utilize barrier-free housing maintained by private landowners as public rental housing.
