[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, is implementing the ‘2021 Small-scale Apartment Support Project’ to improve the poor living conditions and quality of life of residents in old small-scale apartment complexes.

The Small-scale Apartment Support Project provides maintenance and repair costs for common areas such as rooftop waterproofing, painting, and parking lot repairs for small-scale apartment complexes with fewer than 20 households that have passed 10 years since their approval for use. This project has been carried out annually since last year.

This year, a budget of 200 million KRW has been secured, and support will be provided up to 80% of the project cost per complex, with a maximum of 20 million KRW depending on the number of households. The remaining costs will be borne by the residents.

The city plans to finalize the support recipients after a comprehensive review of disaster risk, aging, and project feasibility through an on-site investigation and deliberation by the Apartment Support Deliberation Committee.

A city official stated, "Small-scale apartments without a management entity find it difficult to accumulate long-term repair reserves, making maintenance and management relatively weak compared to large-scale apartment complexes," adding, "We will continue to provide support to improve the living convenience and housing stability of citizens living in poor residential environments."
