1. Overview: This Munakata City subsidy supports corporations operating care service offices or facilities in the city when they implement projects to secure and retain care workers. It is tied to the city’s elderly welfare and long-term care insurance plan and covers practical measures such as recruitment advertising, job fairs, website work, training, consulting, and ICT-related improvements that help stabilize the local care workforce. 2. Eligible applicants: Applicants must operate a city-based office or facility providing services under the Long-Term Care Insurance Act, and the service must be active as of the application date. The corporation must have no municipal tax arrears, and its representatives or officers must not be organized crime group members or persons within five years after leaving such status. A corporation headquartered outside Munakata may still be eligible if it operates a qualifying office or facility in the city. 3. Eligible projects and costs: The recruitment track covers job advertising, website creation or revision outsourced to specialists, job explanation events, promotional materials, job fair exhibition costs, spot-work platform fees, and recruitment consulting. The retention track covers training fees, textbooks, external instructor dispatch, books for improving care services, travel and accommodation for training, retention consulting, and ICT introduction costs excluding equipment purchases. 4. Rate, cap and schedule: The subsidy rate is 10/10. Each of the recruitment and retention tracks normally has a cap of 300,000 yen, but corporations operating three or more qualifying city offices or facilities may receive up to 400,000 yen. The covered project period is April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027, and applications are due February 26, 2027. Applications are processed in order of receipt and close when the budget is exhausted. Applicants should apply before starting the project or signing contracts and must avoid double funding for the same expenses.
