LivEQuality Ooya Inc., founded in 2022 and based in Nagoya, Japan, is a pioneering company dedicated to providing “Affordable Housing” for vulnerable populations, particularly single-mother households facing housing insecurity. Recognizing that stable housing is the foundation of a dignified life, the company offers high-quality residential properties at rents approximately 30% below market value.
The company operates on a unique business model that balances social impact with financial sustainability. While offering discounted housing to those in need, they maintain profitability by renting out a portion of their portfolio at standard market rates. Furthermore, LivEQuality utilizes Impact Bonds to attract investment for social solutions. The cumulative issuance of impact bonds totals 250 million yen.
Notably, the company was recently selected by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to manage a public-private partnership fund, securing 4 billion yen (appx 25,067,840 USD) in investment to accelerate the supply of affordable housing in Tokyo. This initiative aims to establish a total fund scale of over 8 billion yen to support child-rearing households. Led by CEO Takuya Okamoto, LivEQuality Ooya continues to lead the creation of an affordable housing market in Japan, transforming lives through secure housing and supportive communities.
