KAWASAKI -- Housing discrimination is a problem faced by many foreigners and elderly or disabled people in this country. But thanks to the participation of foreign residents in the local administration, the situation may be eased here next April.
Based on a proposal by the Kawasaki City Representatives Assembly for Foreign Residents, an advisory panel to Kawasaki Mayor Kiyoshi Takahashi that was set up in 1996, the Kawasaki Municipal Government is planning to establish a new regulation and a guarantee system aimed at eliminating housing discrimination.
