Secondary Door Key, Door Opening Sensor, Portable Emergency Bell Secure Home 3-Piece Set... Support Scale of 200 Households This Year, Single Women Households Living in Homes with Jeonse Deposit Under 150 Million Won

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) is implementing the "Safe Home 3-Piece Set Support Project" for single women households to support their safe residential life.

Last year, the district started this project as part of a Seoul city public contest, providing safe home sets to 156 single women households. Due to high satisfaction with the project among these households, an additional supplementary budget was allocated to support 179 more households.

A district official stated, "This year, the support scale is about 200 households. As the demand from single women households increases daily, we have relaxed the existing rental deposit criteria from homes under 100 million KRW to homes under 150 million KRW to expand the support target."

The "Safe Home Set Support Project" consists of three items: ▲a double lock auxiliary key for the front door ▲a door opening sensor that sends a text message to a trusted contact along with an alarm sound when the door is opened from outside ▲a portable emergency bell that, when pulled in an emergency, automatically sends an emergency message with an alarm sound to trusted contacts and 112.

Any single woman household residing in Gwanak-gu in a home with a rental deposit under 150 million KRW can apply.

Single women households wishing to apply can refer to the announcements on the Gwanak-gu Office website (www.gwanak.go.kr) (News & Notices → Public Notices) and submit an application form.

Gwanak-gu was designated as a "Women-Friendly City" by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family last year and is carrying out various women-friendly projects based on women's safety, including ▲safe bells for single-woman stores ▲women's safe return scouts ▲women's safe delivery lockers ▲women's safe keeper houses ▲illegal filming camera inspection equipment rental service ▲holding neighborhood women's safety meetings.

Mayor Park Jun-hee said, "The response to the Safe Home Set Support Project, which started last year, was very positive among single women households, so this year we have relaxed the eligibility criteria to allow more single women households to benefit. We will continue to discover and promote various projects that foster a safe residential environment for women, including the Safe Home Set Support Project."
