Help for eviction and housing insecurity in Japan
From people who came through it
“If you are just starting this, I am sorry. The first thing I want to say is that it is not your fault. The shame is heavy, but you don't have to carry it alone. Get advice early, even if it feels embarrassing. And try to hold on to the small things, like a cup of tea with a friend or a game of chess. It doesn't fix the big problem, but it helps you keep going.”
Tendai I · been through eviction and housing insecurity“If you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Back then it was landlord selling. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back.”
wolf_song · been through eviction and housing insecurity“If you've just found this place, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. The worst part was two weeks to find somewhere. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart. From someone who gets it.”
Farmer in Mexico City · been through eviction and housing insecurity“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy and the first few months were the worst of my life and but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. Get a letter from your doctor if your health is affected, it moved us up the list. Go slowly.”
