Suwon City Hall

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province has provided emergency temporary housing spaces to three families who lost their residences due to fire.

On the 15th, Suwon City announced that it had prepared temporary housing spaces for three households who applied for 'emergency housing welfare support' among the families affected by the multi-family housing fire in Songjuk-dong that occurred on the 3rd.

The Suwon Sustainable City Foundation Housing Welfare Support Center operates 16 emergency temporary housing units.

The city plans to use donations from the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation to purchase necessary items for the resident families and stock them in the temporary housing units.

In addition, the city will closely cooperate with Songjuk-dong and the Suwon Sustainable City Foundation Housing Welfare Support Center to continuously manage the residents of the emergency temporary housing spaces.

The city provides emergency temporary housing spaces to citizens in low-income families who urgently need housing due to issues such as fire, monsoon rains, forced eviction, personal bankruptcy, or unemployment.

Residents can stay in the emergency temporary housing spaces for up to three months, with one possible extension.

Ki Woo-jin, Director of the City Urban Policy Office, explained, "We operate emergency temporary housing spaces for households facing housing crises, such as eviction risks due to economic difficulties caused by COVID-19," adding, "We will do our best to secure resources in consultation with related organizations so that citizens experiencing sudden housing crises can receive timely assistance."
