The city sends housework supporters free of charge to Katsushika City families who are pregnant or raising children under 3. From October 1, 2025, single-baby pregnancies were added in addition to multiple pregnancies. The limit is 96 hours per pregnant woman or child under 3. For twins it is 120 hours per baby or child, and for triplets or more, the number of babies or children × 96 hours. The hour limit is determined by the child's age when you apply and is valid until the day before the next birthday, so apply again after the birthday. Services include everyday meal preparation, laundry, general cleaning of rooms and wet areas, tidying, shopping for daily necessities, accompanying you to checkups, etc., and childcare consultation (listening). Childcare itself is not included in the services. It is free, but transportation costs when the supporter visits your home and cancellation fees are paid by the user.

Nationality and residence status

The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.

Who is eligible

Pregnant women (single or multiple) or people raising children under 3

Notes

During use, the parent and the eligible child (or the pregnant woman herself) must be at home; telework, etc. does not count as "at home."
