In consideration of regional characteristics of Tokyo, including Suginami City, such as the lower salary levels of care workers compared with other industries and high housing costs, this program subsidizes the expenses necessary to provide housing support allowances to employees hired by the relevant establishments in order to support efforts to secure and retain care personnel until the national government implements the necessary reforms to improve the treatment of care workers.
