A city official stated, “Through this project, we expect effects beyond simple housekeeping support, such as job creation for mid-aged people and strengthening social care functions including child psychological care for cancer patients, patients with rare and intractable diseases, elderly living alone, disabled persons, single-parent and grandparent-headed families who are in the blind spots of existing social service provision.”
