Japan has a significant homeless population, estimated to be around 5,000 to 10,000 people. Poverty, mental health issues, and lack of affordable housing are some of the reasons behind homelessness in Japan. The government provides temporary housing and financial assistance for homeless individuals and families, while NGOs offer various services such as meals, clothing, healthcare, and job training programs. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on homelessness in Japan, with more individuals becoming homeless due to job losses. Addressing homelessness requires a comprehensive approach that involves government support, NGO involvement, and societal change.
