This paper examines the integration of housing policy and social security policy, focusing particularly on residential support housing in the 2024 Housing Safety Net Act revision. Against the backdrop of housing security issues for elderly singles, it analyzes life assistance content and methods in residential support housing from perspectives of consultation and monitoring support, discussing connections with comprehensive community care systems and multi-layered support system development projects. The paper emphasizes the need for collaboration beyond mere role division between housing supply and life assistance, while addressing the review of vacant house utilization policies in housing support and concerns about entrusting life assistance entirely to social security systems.
