Songpa-gu ? E-Land Foundation Signs Business Agreement for Low-Income Crisis Family Self-Reliance Support Project Actively Supporting Crisis Family Self-Reliance... Up to 50 Million KRW Every 6 Months for Crisis Family Self-Reliance Project Funds

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) has signed a business agreement with the E-Land Foundation (CEO Jung Jae-cheol) to eliminate welfare blind spots and strengthen the social safety net, launching support for the self-reliance of families in crisis.

Through the family self-reliance support project, Songpa-gu and the E-Land Foundation plan to provide rapid, customized assistance to families facing sudden crisis situations such as the death of the main income earner, serious illness, or loss of income, helping them achieve self-reliance.

The main target is low-income working (unemployed) families below the median income standard, prioritizing vulnerable groups in blind spots who are not receiving other welfare support.

They have established a broad welfare protection network ranging from ▲emergency supplies support to ▲crisis support (living expenses, housing costs, medical expenses) and ▲self-reliance support (education expenses, nursing care, caregiving support costs).

With the acquisition of private funds through this agreement, the district can now utilize up to 50 million KRW every six months for the family self-reliance support project.

It is expected to make a significant contribution to overcoming the limitations of public funding and to improving welfare for residents by eliminating welfare blind spots in the future.

Mayor Park Seong-su stated, “The family self-reliance support project in partnership with the E-Land Foundation will greatly contribute to the rapid functional recovery and self-reliance support of vulnerable groups affected by the COVID-19 disaster,” adding, “We will continue to foster a happy welfare community where no resident in need is left behind through the activation of public-private cooperation.”

Meanwhile, the E-Land Foundation is promoting various domestic and international social contribution projects, including the E-Land Incubating Project. Accordingly, Songpa-gu plans to actively strengthen the welfare safety net through proactive cooperation.
