[Yeongam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 3rd that the 3rd disaster living expense support project, which provides 150,000 won to all residents, is progressing smoothly.

Yeongam-gun established its own implementation plan tailored to the conditions of each eup and myeon for prompt payment, designating application days for each village during the concentrated application period. In Samho-eup, counters are operated not only on weekday nights but also on weekends for residents who find it difficult to visit during working hours.

The county is actively administering a visiting application service for socially vulnerable groups such as elderly single households and those with mobility difficulties who find it hard to apply in person, ensuring no inconvenience to residents.

A county official stated, “We appreciate the active cooperation of residents in following quarantine rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and we expect this project to bring great vitality to the local economy through household stability.”
