Gwangju Nam-gu, Pre-registration for Separate Payment of Youth Housing Benefits

Gwangju Metropolitan City Nam-gu Office

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Nam-gu District Office of Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) announced on the 7th that it will accept "pre-registrations for separate payment of youth housing benefits" to support the independence of unmarried youth under 30 who live separately from their parents due to schooling or job seeking.

In preparation for the "separate payment of youth housing benefits" to be implemented from January next year, pre-application registrations are being accepted at the 16 administrative welfare centers in the district.

This is to alleviate the difficulties faced by unmarried youth under 30, who are busy with studies and job preparation, due to the burden of expensive rent, poor housing conditions, and economic burdens such as student loan repayments.

The support targets are unmarried youth aged 19 to under 30 who live separately from their parents due to schooling or job seeking activities, among households receiving housing benefits.

The place where the unmarried youth currently reside must be different from the city or county where their parents are registered residents; however, if it is the same city or county, exceptions may be granted based on the judgment of the city or county (support institution) where the parents reside.

To submit the pre-application, visit the administrative welfare center of the neighborhood where the parents reside and submit the youth lease contract and proof documents confirming separate residence (certificate of enrollment, certificate of employment, etc.).

The support amount varies depending on the number of household members.

In the case of Gwangju, it is 190,000 KRW for a single-person household, 212,000 KRW for two people, and 254,000 KRW for three people.

For inquiries about the separate payment of youth housing benefits, contact the administrative welfare center of the neighborhood where the parents reside or the Housing Welfare Team of the Disabled Welfare Division at Nam-gu District Office.

A Nam-gu official said, "The separate payment of youth housing benefits will greatly help ensure housing stability and independence for unmarried youth under 30," and added, "We hope eligible youth will receive support benefits through pre-registration."
