Guro-gu, Public Housing Community Revitalization Contest

Resident Harmony, Eco-Friendly Practices, Hobbies, Education, and 7 Other Categories... Applications Accepted Until the 31st... Up to 5 Million KRW Support per Project... Customized Consulting by Community Experts Provided

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) is conducting the ‘Apartment Community Revitalization Contest Project.’

On the 21st, Guro-gu announced that it is holding a contest for the apartment community revitalization project to expand communication among neighbors and establish a culture of living together.

The contest targets community revitalization projects that apartments want to promote independently.

The detailed project areas are divided into seven categories: ▲ Communication and resident harmony such as resident festivals, mutual aid, newsletters ▲ Eco-friendly practice and experience such as making eco-friendly products, energy-saving education, green markets, gardening ▲ Hobbies and startups such as hobby classes, housewife education, side jobs ▲ Education and childcare such as child education, joint childcare, study rooms ▲ Health and exercise such as health, ball games, cycling, dementia prevention ▲ Neighbor help and social service such as volunteer activities, talent donation ▲ Combination of two or more fields.

Selected apartments will receive project funds up to 5 million won. Customized consulting by community experts will also be provided. However, apartments must bear a certain percentage of the cost based on the years of participation: at least 10% for new participants, 20% for the second year, 30% for the third year, and 40% for the fourth year or more. Rental (mixed) complexes are subject to a minimum 10% self-payment rate regardless of continuous support.

The application must be submitted jointly by the tenant representative meeting, community revitalization organization, and management entity. Apartments wishing to participate should bring the required documents and visit the Housing Division of the district office by the 31st of this month. For more details, refer to the announcement section on the district office website.

The support targets will be decided through the review of the Guro-gu Apartment Support Deliberation Committee next month.

A Guro-gu official said, “We expect the apartment community revitalization project to help create a good neighborhood full of affection among neighbors,” and added, “We hope for residents’ active interest and participation.”
