Yeonggwang-gun 'Residential Environment Improvement Project' Promotion

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 30th that it will carry out a 'Residential Environment Improvement Project' to help 7 households suspected of hoarding live a humane life in a pleasant environment.

This project targets households where large amounts of garbage are left unattended throughout the house due to various reasons such as hoarding disorder, old age, disability, and illness, raising concerns about social disconnection and isolation.

It is a project where the public and private sectors join forces to collect household waste and repair homes to help restore daily life and provide continuous case management.

In Daema-myeon, from the 28th for three days, the Daema-myeon Welfare Mobile Team, Yeonggwang Fire Station, and Yeonggwang-gun Community Security Council joined hands to provide residential environment improvements, bedding sets, and fire detectors to 2 households suspected of hoarding, creating a pleasant and healthy home.

Hoarding disorder is a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder where a person stores any items regardless of their use, and feels uncomfortable and unpleasant if they do not hoard.
