Sejong City "Need for Housing Stability Measures Including Expansion of Rental Housing for Relocated Public Officials"

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City has rolled up its sleeves to secure housing stability for relocated institution workers following the abolition of special supply for public officials.

On the 12th, the city announced that Mayor Lee Chun-hee of Sejong met with Hwang Seo-jong, Chairman of the Government Employees Pension Service, to discuss support measures for housing stability for relocated institution workers, including the expansion of rental housing policies for public officials.

Currently, 45 central administrative agencies have completed their relocation to Sejong, and the number of incoming public officials continues to increase due to new hires at these relocated institutions.

Moreover, with the planned relocation of the National Assembly Sejong Office Building, additional incoming demand is expected, making the supply of housing for relocated institution workers urgently necessary to ensure their housing stability.

Accordingly, during the meeting with Chairman Hwang, Mayor Lee plans to propose expanding the supply scale of rental housing for relocated institution workers, considering the timing of living area development, and reflecting various housing sizes based on actual demand.

Mayor Lee stated, “With the confirmed construction of the National Assembly Sejong Office Building, it is expected that about 5,000 related workers will relocate to Sejong, making it urgent to prepare customized housing stability measures for each target group. The city plans to review various housing stability measures such as adjusting the sale timing and the ratio of sale housing allocated to applicants from other regions, and will propose these to relevant ministries and political circles.”
