Seoul City to Supply 74 Housing Units for People with Disabilities

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 6th that it will supply 74 households of 장애인지원주택 (Disabled Support Housing), which provides public rental housing and residential services together, this year.

장애인지원주택 is a project that rents houses to disabled people who want to live independently outside of facilities and supports daily life such as housekeeping and health care. It is equipped with convenience facilities for the disabled, such as no thresholds at the entrance and bathroom, safety handrails, and voice-recognition gas shut-off devices.

Including 68 households last year, a total of 278 households will be supplied by 2022. Among this year's supply, 30 households are included for the first time in the form of national rental apartments located in the Godeok Gangil District, Gangdong-gu.

Among disabled people aged 18 or older residing in Seoul, tenants are selected through income and property investigations. The deposit, rent, and maintenance fees are borne by the tenants, and they can live for up to 20 years.

Disabled people who wish to move in can contact the Customized Housing Department of Seoul Housing & Communities Corporation.
