[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 22nd that it has finally selected 1,918 households in 13 locations nationwide through a local government contest for job-linked support housing.

As startup support housing, a total of 679 households in 5 locations including Jungnang Sinnae (114 households), Gwangmyeong Soha (140 households), and Gwangyang Seonghwangdoi (150 households) were selected. Startup support housing is support housing that provides residential and workspaces together to young entrepreneurs and others who face difficulties securing housing and startup spaces.

Jungnang Sinnae is adjacent to a knowledge industry center and is an area with excellent startup infrastructure, with a fashion high-tech complex and compact city planned nearby.

Gwangyang Seonghwangdoi has excellent startup conditions such as the Gwangyang National Industrial Complex and venture companies located nearby, and offers startup package support projects for prospective entrepreneurs.

Regional strategic industry support housing was designated in 7 locations with a total of 1,139 households, including Dobong Changdong (99 households), Busan Sasang (200 households), Gwangju Nam-gu (40 households), Chungbuk Eumseong (300 households), and Jeonbuk Gimje (100 households). Regional strategic industry support housing is support housing supplied to stabilize the residence of workers in the relevant industries to foster specialized strategic industries by region.

Dobong Changdong is planned to be linked with the music industry such as Seoul Arena (performance hall), and Gwangju Sajik is linked with video and music, providing workspaces such as studios along with housing.

Busan Sasang, Incheon Dong-gu (200 households), and Daejeon Industrial Complex 1 (200 households) plan to supply support housing as part of regeneration projects for aging industrial and industrial complex areas to revitalize the districts.

Exclusive housing for SME workers was selected in one location, Daejeon Daedeok 2 (100 households). Daejeon Industrial Complex 2, selected as exclusive housing for SME workers, is expected to help ease the housing cost burden of workers in the industrial complex and aid in stable job settlement.
