[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 15th that it will provide support for housing design fees and vacant house repair projects for the purpose of increasing the population.

The housing design fee support targets a total of 20 households, with 2 million KRW per household.

The vacant house repair project targets a total of 9 households, with 5 million KRW per household, and applications will be accepted from the 20th until February 8th.

The support condition for housing design fees is for homeowners who have been registered residents in other cities, counties, or districts for more than one year as of the moving-in date and are moving in or planning to move in to build a new house in the county.

For the vacant house repair project, it supports repair costs such as roofs, walls, and windows for vacant houses that have not been lived in or used for more than one year, rented or sold to returning farmers or rural migrants who have relocated. Both projects apply to those who moved in or plan to move in after January 1, 2019.

The housing design fee support project is also available for those planning to build or currently designing since 2019, those who have obtained building permits or notifications, and those eligible for housing improvement projects, but applicants must not have obtained building use approval.

However, if construction does not start within three months after the recipient is confirmed for the housing design fee support, the support will be discontinued.

Applications for housing design fee support can be submitted to the Building Permit Department of the Civil Service Division at Hamyang-gun Office.

Applications for the vacant house repair project can be submitted to the general affairs or construction department of the respective eup or myeon.

A county official said, "The support for design fees and vacant house repair costs aims to help newcomers, including returning farmers and rural migrants, settle stably, and it is expected to contribute to the increase of the county's population through this project."
