LH Appoints 2nd Term of 'Housing Welfare Youth Ombudsman'

[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) is directly listening to the voices of young people to provide more effective housing support for youth.

LH announced that it held the inauguration ceremony for the 2nd term of the 'LH Housing Welfare Youth Ombudsman' on the 3rd at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, in collaboration with the Administrative Reform Citizens' Coalition.

The Housing Welfare Youth Ombudsman program allows young people, the policy demanders, to directly identify and propose improvements for various youth housing support policies. LH and the Administrative Reform Citizens' Coalition collaborate throughout the entire process, including selection and operation.

At the inauguration ceremony, an appointment certificate presentation was held, along with an orientation introducing LH's housing welfare projects and outlining the activity plans.

Last month, LH publicly recruited the 2nd term youth ombudsmen targeting young people interested in housing welfare projects. A total of 30 young people were finally selected through this process. Over the next six months, they will share ideas and identify improvements for youth-targeted housing welfare policies. In particular, the 1st term youth ombudsmen and LH staff will act as mentors to help propose more practical ideas.

LH plans to hold a proposal presentation event in November to share the achievements of the activities so far and to listen to the policy suggestions of young people. Outstanding proposals selected there will be actively reflected in future housing welfare projects.

Seochangwon, Head of LH Housing Welfare Headquarters, said, "I hope the Housing Welfare Youth Ombudsman will evaluate housing welfare projects from the perspective of youth and freely present new ideas for customized housing welfare policies."
