[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Sancheong Regional Self-Sufficiency Center in Gyeongnam is helping to stabilize housing for low-income, homeless residents in the area.

The center announced on the 2nd that it has been selected for the 'Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation Rental Deposit Support Project for Low-Income Homeless People' for seven consecutive years.

This project is organized by the Korea Association of Social Workers and sponsored by the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation to help stabilize housing for low-income homeless people.

The Sancheong Regional Self-Sufficiency Center’s selected project provides rental deposits free of charge.

Through screening, support ranging from 5 million to 10 million KRW is provided, and after two years, the support fund is recognized as the property of the recipient, thereby supporting the practical housing stability of low-income residents.

The center plans to provide 5 million KRW in rental deposit support to single-parent female heads of households participating in the self-sufficiency labor project.

Since 2015, the center has been selected for the rental deposit support project for seven consecutive years and has supported seven households with a total of 39 million KRW so far.

Center Director Noh Joon-seok said, “Beyond creating jobs for low-income people, housing stability support is thanks to continuous self-sufficiency case management along with the interest and participation of the local community,” adding, “We will continue to listen to the welfare needs of participants in the self-sufficiency labor project and strive to provide practical self-sufficiency welfare services.”

Meanwhile, the Sancheong Regional Self-Sufficiency Center currently operates three self-sufficiency labor project teams, with about 50 low-income residents participating in the self-sufficiency labor projects.
