Description
<p>People diagnosed with mental illnesses confront housing-related difficulties. This study aims to investigate the vital role discharged by medical and welfare organizations and their institutional policies in addressing such issues. A survey was conducted with representatives from eight real estate companies that support people with mental illness. These small-scale local real estate companies work actively to find residences for people with mental illness as a survival strategy. They leverage their strong ties with landlords and other companies in the same industry. They also use their ability to make flexible decisions while effectively utilizing the functions of support organizations in the domain of mental health and welfare. In addition, the study confirmed the need for a multi-layered measure of surface improvement to encourage real estate companies to adopt cooperative attitudes toward the occupancy of their premises by people with mental illnesses. It is also vital to seek individual involvement from supporters and engage in the dissemination of information to enlighten the public. Such efforts will increase cooperative lenders and enhance institutional policies in the rental housing market.</p>
