Subsidy for living environment improvement expenses
Last Updated April 6, 2023
What is the Living Environment Improvement Project?
Housing remodeling tailored to the physical condition (such as daily activities) and housing conditions for specialized staff so that elderly people, children with disabilities, and persons who need support or nursing care can continue living at home. We provide advice on remodeling and subsidize a part of the housing remodeling cost implemented based on advice.
