Gyeonggi-do Provides Emergency Support of 176.3 Billion KRW in Living Stability Funds to 300,000 Households

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will provide a total of 176.3 billion KRW in emergency support to stabilize the lives of low-income households.

On the 19th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will carry out the "Temporary Living Support Project for Low-Income Households," providing a total of 176.3 billion KRW in local currency cards and Onnuri gift certificates to about 300,000 households, including basic livelihood security recipients and near-poor households in the province, by July 31, to stabilize their lives amid difficulties caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

This project aims to provide local currency cards and Onnuri gift certificates to basic livelihood security recipients and near-poor households facing economic crises to promote life stabilization and revitalize the local economy.

It is a 100% government-funded project temporarily conducted from April to July this year due to COVID-19.

The support targets a total of 304,720 households, including 243,382 basic livelihood security recipient households and 61,338 near-poor households.

Basic livelihood security recipients for living and medical expenses will receive funds ranging from 520,000 KRW (single-person household) to 1,920,000 KRW (six-person household). Basic livelihood security recipients for housing and education, as well as near-poor households, will receive funds ranging from 400,000 KRW (single-person household) to 1,480,000 KRW (six-person household).

Kim Tae-hoon, Director of the Welfare Project Division of the province, emphasized, "We will provide this temporary living support fund as quickly and accurately as possible to practically help stabilize the lives of low-income households struggling due to COVID-19 and to revitalize the local economy."

Meanwhile, considering that this temporary living support fund is a one-time additional expenditure, it will not be reflected in the income that affects the qualification maintenance of basic livelihood security recipients and near-poor households.
