A nonprofit organization in Nagoya is running a self-reliance assistance home for young delinquents with no place to return to after they leave juvenile correctional facilities.
Operated by the Saihikouboushi Support Center Aichi (juvenile recidivism prevention support center Aichi), the facility, 4S Home, provides support for youths so they can be independent, and helps when they face issues at work or with friends, offering them a safe haven.
The 4S home was opened three years ago and has so far helped 21 youths become self-reliant. One of them is a 20-year-old man who entered the group home in June 2016.
