Ject One Joins Forces to Address Vacant Home Challenges

Ject One, a company specializing in real estate development, renovation, and vacant home projects, has made a significant move by joining the National Consortium for Vacant House Solutions. This initiative aims to mitigate the growing issue of vacant homes across Japan. With a focus on utilizing expertise and fostering collaboration, Ject One is committed to tackling this pressing social issue head-on.

Background of Participation

The rise in vacant homes has become a pressing concern, particularly after the enactment of the Special Measures Law for Promoting Measures against Vacant Houses in 2015. In response, Ject One launched its vacant home initiative called "Akisapo" in 2016. Through Akisapo, the company has been able to provide tailored solutions addressing the diverse challenges faced by owners of vacant properties, successfully resolving over 450 cases to date.

The National Consortium for Vacant House Solutions is a collaborative body comprised of various business entities and academic organizations with expertise in areas related to vacant homes, including inheritance, demolition, sale, and utilization. By joining this consortium, Ject One aims to enhance its outreach towards vacant home owners and work collectively to develop concrete solutions for existing challenges.

Objectives of the Consortium

1. Seminars for Vacant Home Owners: Conducting sessions aimed at educating and providing support to owners of vacant properties.
2. Support for Local Authorities: Offering seminars for government employees to enhance their understanding and response strategies regarding vacant homes.
3. Research and Investigation: Carrying out studies related to vacant house issues to share findings among contributors.
4. Business Matching Between Participants: Facilitating connections and partnerships among member organizations for better solutions.

"We are thrilled to welcome Ject One into the National Consortium for Vacant House Solutions. The process of collating information related to vacating homes is often cumbersome and time-consuming.
