At the center, interviews were conducted regarding the work, situation, health, and general life of the residents in order to identify the on-site reality and issues facing the small-scale self-reliance Support centers.
In FY 2006, the everyday reality in residential environment and provision of future support was sought by conducting interviews with 64 people who moved to residential living after sleeping rough in Otsu-city, Shiga prefecture, The survey, revealed that initiatives in local communities are needed to address 1) a place where they can meet each other easily as a regular basis, 2) a place where they can find motivation for life, including work, taking into consideration their health and physical condition, 3) Everyday life support service for those who have worries about living alone and 4) Consultation and advising services for health and old age.
