[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Residential Welfare Center in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi Province, will begin operations starting this month.

According to the city on the 26th, the center, operated under consignment by Bucheon Urban Corporation, provides services such as residential welfare information provision, counseling and case management, move-in consultation for public rental housing, linkage to residential welfare services, and emergency support housing (temporary shelter) for households in residential crisis.

Going forward, the center aims to establish itself as the regional hub for residential welfare by building a local network related to residential welfare and plans to educate and promote residential welfare systems.

This year, as an executing agency for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s housing upgrade support project for vulnerable groups, it will establish a cooperative system with local welfare-related institutions such as welfare centers and self-support centers.

In particular, it plans to identify non-housing residents living in goshiwon and yeoinsuk, as well as vulnerable groups in need of relocation due to flooding or fire, and focus on supporting their relocation to public rental housing.

Mayor Jang Deokcheon stated, "The Residential Welfare Center will focus on providing residential welfare information and supporting various residential welfare projects to resolve issues faced by households in residential crisis, aiming to stabilize housing and improve housing standards for Bucheon citizens."
