Message from the CEO

Housing and connection change lives and transform society

One year after the COVID-19 pandemic began, in April 2021, LivEQuality was born.

In June, just after our founding, we received a request from the government: “Could you accept a mother and her children who are struggling to find housing?” We welcomed our first residents.
The two children, who clung anxiously to their mother every moment when they first moved in, are now thriving and full of energy. The mother, who had moved from another region without a job, quickly found employment. She now serves as a community leader, supporting those who moved in later.

“I can finally believe in the potential of my children and myself.”

Every time we hear words like these from the single mothers who have moved in, we feel a deep sense of purpose: that by providing “housing and connection,” we are helping to change people's lives, and ultimately society, one small but sure step at a time.

To date, we have supported 27 mother-child households in establishing stable foundations for their lives.
Now, as we enter our fourth year since founding, LivEQuality has further clarified its vision and mission.

Amidst an increasingly turbulent society, we renew our commitment to creating a market for affordable housing (quality housing for low-income households) in Japan. This is so that as many mothers and children as possible can regain their dignity, starting with housing.

Driven by a sense of mission, compassion, and a strong will to spread this ethos, we at LivEQuality will dedicate ourselves to creating this market.

We believe that by striving to become a leader in this market, we can illuminate a corner of the world where everyone living in this country can enjoy days filled with smiles and kindness.

While we are still halfway through our journey, we will continue to work together as a united team, giving our utmost effort.
