The requirements for securing housing benefits have been relaxed. Please take advantage of it by all means. Housing assistance is one of the systems based on the Act on Self-Reliance Support for People in Need. This system provides the equivalent amount of rent from local governments to those who are financially distressed and are at a loss of housing. Until now, this system has been aimed at those who have left or closed their businesses, but since April 20, the scope has been expanded, and the opportunities to earn income due to leave have decreased, and those who have the same situation as turnovers have also been targeted. In terms of requirements, it has been necessary to apply for Hello Work, but in light of the recent employment situation, the requirement to apply for a job at Hello Work has been abolished from April 30, 2020, and the scope of payment has been expanded so that support can be more widely reached to those who have been temporarily forced to take leave or leave for the time being. Please consult with the "Self-Reliance Consultation Support Organization" established in 1,300 locations nationwide, including prefectures. In addition, there is a possibility that you can receive other public support, so please use it.
