Gwangju Nam-gu, Second Recruitment for Applicants of Yangnim-dong Home Repair Support Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) has launched a second recruitment for applicants wishing to receive home repair support to ensure housing stability for residents living within the Yangnim-dong Urban Regeneration New Deal project area.

According to Nam-gu on the 23rd, the second recruitment for the home repair support project targets aging houses within 17-5 Yangnim-dong, the Urban Regeneration New Deal project area, providing support for external repairs including roofs, fences, exterior walls, and gates.

Applications are open for detached houses, multi-family residential buildings, and other mixed-use buildings.

However, for multi-family residential buildings, consent from all owners is mandatory, and owners of aging houses receiving housing benefits are excluded from support due to prohibition of duplicate benefits.

Additionally, for mixed-use buildings, support is only available for the residential parts excluding commercial areas.

The selection criteria prioritize basic livelihood security recipients and lower-income households as first priority, owners of aging houses over 20 years within the project area as second priority, and owners of houses under 20 years as third priority.

The recruitment scale is approximately 100 households.

Applications for participation in the home repair support project can be submitted until the 13th of next month by filling out the application form and submitting it to the Yangnim-dong Urban Regeneration Field Support Center.

If selected as a beneficiary household, up to 10.26 million KRW will be supported including a 10% self-payment, and if the commercial building owner signs a coexistence agreement with tenants, the self-payment rate is reduced to 5%.

For inquiries regarding the home repair support project, contact the Urban Regeneration Division of Nam-gu Office.

A Nam-gu official stated, “There are many old and dilapidated houses within the Yangnim-dong Urban Regeneration New Deal project area, so following the first project, we have proceeded with the second recruitment. We will work to improve the external appearance of aging houses within the project area to promote housing stabilization.”
