[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 18th that it has provided 550 million won in the second emergency livelihood support fund to vulnerable households whose income has decreased due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The emergency livelihood support fund for vulnerable households is a temporary (one-time) support program providing 400,000 won for one-person households, 600,000 won for two-person households, 800,000 won for three-person households, and up to 1 million won for households of four or more.

This time, the emergency livelihood support fund included small merchants such as daily workers and unregistered business owners who were not eligible for support aimed at small business owners, providing a much-needed relief to households economically impacted by COVID-19.

It also contributed to alleviating welfare blind spots, such as those excluded from COVID-19 related support programs.
