Yokohama-style Pro Bono (Hama Bono) Business

Yokohama City is promoting the construction of a “comprehensive community care system” in preparation for a super-aging society, which is expected to progress further in the future. Hama Bono aims to create such a town where people can stay forever, and aims to become a more vibrant community development by supporting local activity groups that are engaged in activities that contribute to the welfare of the elderly in the city with participants from active working adults to seniors. From 2024, Hama Bono will be using "Hama Bono Online" to match on the web that connects organizations with minor problems with individuals who want to volunteer with their experience and strengths.

The community-based comprehensive care system is a system in which housing, medical care, nursing care, prevention, and life support are provided integrally so that you can continue your own life in the area where you live until the end of your life.
In Yokohama City, we are promoting the construction of a Yokohama-style comprehensive community care system based on approximately 140 community care plazas in the city, aiming to become a distinctive community development by promoting the integrated promotion of preventive care and health promotion, social participation, and life support for extending healthy life expectancy.
