\n\"MisatoHomeRepair2.JPG.jpg\"<\/a>\"MisatoHomeRepair1.jpg\"<\/a>Habitat for Humanity Japan (HFH Japan) launched a new financial support scheme for home repairs in Misato, Miyagi Prefecture.
\nMisato is located in the north-central Miyagi Prefecture and also in the north of the City of Higashimatsushima where HFH Japan implemented its second financial support scheme<\/a>, after the first support scheme<\/a> was implemented in Ofunato, Iwate Prefecture in 2012. Thanks to many supporters and volunteers, HFH Japan has provided financial support to more than 60 disaster affected families in Higashimatsushima. In total, HFH Japan and its volunteers have served approximately 210 families with home repair support since the 2011 disaster.
\nHFH Japan became aware, through the 2-year home repair operation in Iwate and Miyagi, that families living in temporary shelters tend to receive more attention and assistance than the families living in their own damaged homes. In addition, even more attention and assistance have been directed to people living in the coastal area and affected by tsunami. On the other hand, HFH Japan acknowledges that there are a number of people and communities that have not received enough support and are facing difficulties even after 3 years since the disaster. In 2014, HFH Japan aims at those families who were not affected by tsunami but by the great earthquake that was up to 6+ on a seismic scale. HFH Japan reaches out its assistance to those families in need of home repairs.
\nHFH Japan is now announcing this new financial support scheme to the residents of Misato. HFH Japan will be able to extend the home repair assistance to some 20 families with financial support and consultations.

\nHFH Japan Home Repair Project<\/strong><\/u>
\nHFH Japan supports families that find difficulty in repairing their homes due to economic reasons. Before home repairs, HFH Japan provides housing consultation* including professional assessment by architects. Those families will know not only which repairs are essential but will also learn about the public subsidies and other useful information. HFH Japan often partners with attorneys and financial planners to offer expert consultation as well.
\n*Housing Consultation
\nThrough its housing consultation, HFH Japan provides information about rebuilding and repairing homes. In particular, it is often difficult for the elderly people to collect and understand the information on different assistance schmes, many of them are somewhat complicated. HFH Japan's housing consultation helps them to obtain appropriate information in a prompt manner.
\nHFH Japan's home repair scheme combines the house repairs and consultations, so that it can help people affected by the 2011 disaster in a way that suit their individual needs to rebuild decent homes.
