Reception of applications at local eup, myeon, and dong offices from December 1 to 31

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 19th that it is recruiting residents for the public silver housing under construction at 258-1 Yeonji-dong, aimed at ensuring housing stability and improving welfare for the elderly.

Public silver housing is public housing designed for low-income seniors aged 65 and over, considering their living environment, with convenience facilities inside the units and social welfare facilities installed on the lower floors.

With one basement floor, 11 above-ground floors, and a total floor area of 7,821㎡, it is equipped with customized facilities for the elderly and will be supplied at a deposit and rent lower than market prices.

In particular, the welfare center on the first floor gathers welfare, leisure, and health-related facilities to raise the level of residential welfare for low-income seniors in the area and help them enjoy a comfortable old age.

The public silver housing, which has surpassed 83% completion, is under active construction with the goal of completion in March next year, and move-in will begin at the end of April.

Applications for residency will be accepted from December 1 to 31 at the local town, township, or neighborhood offices, with a total of 88 households supplied, each with an exclusive area of 26㎡.

Eligibility for application prioritizes residents currently registered in Jeongeup City who are aged 65 or older, are national veterans, and whose recognized income is below the selection criteria for livelihood and medical benefit recipients.

Next in priority are residents who are livelihood or medical benefit recipients or belong to the near-poverty class, followed by residents whose income is below 50% of the previous year's urban worker income standard.

Applicants who fail to be selected in the priority order will be managed as standby residents.

Rental conditions are as follows: for first-priority applicants and livelihood/medical benefit recipients, the deposit is 2,259,000 KRW with a monthly rent of 44,930 KRW; for near-poverty class and others, the deposit is 11,818,000 KRW with a monthly rent of 116,380 KRW. Management fees, including electricity and water charges, are separate.

Mayor Yoo Jinseop stated, “Public silver housing will provide a pleasant living environment for low-income seniors in an aging society, and we will do our best to ensure that residents do not experience any inconvenience throughout the entire process from recruitment to move-in, management, and resident support.”
