[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] KCC announced on the 17th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the 'Bantitbul House' project with Seocho-gu Office in Seoul and local social welfare organizations.


The MOU ceremony was held the day before at Seocho-gu Office, attended by Shim Jaeguk, KCC Executive Vice President of General Affairs and Human Resources, and Kwon Oyu, Director of Resident Life Bureau at Seocho-gu Office. They agreed to join forces in a home repair support project for socially vulnerable households.


KCC and Seocho-gu plan to select beneficiary households through on-site visits and document reviews, considering factors such as recommendation reasons, urgency of support, and whether there is overlapping assistance among applicants. Selected households will receive one-on-one customized housing renovation and space welfare support using KCC’s eco-friendly flooring materials, paints, windows, and other high-performance materials tailored to their housing characteristics.


Eligible applicants include socially vulnerable households with a standard median income of 120% or less, such as basic livelihood security recipients, elderly living alone, single-parent families, persons with disabilities, multicultural families, and North Korean defectors.


The application period is from the 23rd of this month to the 30th of next month. Applicants can download the relevant application form from the Seocho-gu Office website, fill it out, and submit it via email. Visiting the local community center or postal submission is also possible.



A KCC official stated, "Through this project, we hope to contribute to the stability of local residents' lives by providing high-quality housing to neighbors who truly need help. We plan to produce a promotional video of the home repair activities to widely publicize Bantitbul House, KCC and Seocho-gu’s unique social contribution model, so that more residents can benefit."
