This paper examines strategies for comprehensively implementing "residential support" and "housing support." It points out the need for an integrated approach that transcends the traditional vertical divisions between housing and welfare policies. By analyzing support practices by diverse entities including residential support organizations, social welfare corporations, and NPOs, it emphasizes the importance of seamless support systems from pre-move property searches to post-move living support. The paper proposes specific measures such as expanding government rent debt guarantee systems and providing incentives to private rental property owners, particularly to address the needs of elderly people, persons with disabilities, and those in financial difficulty who struggle to secure guarantors.
