Residents of Gosiwon, jjokbang, and vinyl houses in Gangnam-gu Move to Public Rental Housing
Consultation to Relocation and Settlement in Public Rental Housing for Non-Homeowners Residing 3 Months, with Total Assets Under 200 Million KRW
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) has been implementing the ‘Housing Upgrade Support Project for Non-Housing Residents’ since last month to help residents living in goshiwon, jjokbang, and vinyl houses relocate to public rental housing.
This initiative is being promoted as Gangnam-gu was selected as a leading local government for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s ‘Non-Housing Residents Relocation Support Housing Upgrade Contest Project.’ The Gangnam Housing Welfare Center provides close on-site support from housing counseling for non-housing residents to relocation to public rental housing.
The target beneficiaries are residents who have lived in non-housing for more than three months and meet the following criteria: ▲monthly average income of urban workers in the previous year at 50% or less ▲total assets of 200 million KRW or less ▲car price of 24.68 million KRW or less, and are homeless.
Applications can be submitted by visiting the local community service center by December.
To support this project, the district has established a dedicated counseling center (in Suseo-dong) and is actively identifying candidates wishing to relocate to public rental housing by visiting areas densely populated with goshiwon in Yeoksam and Nonhyeon-dong, providing customized support for self-reliance and settlement such as job linkage.
