If there are neighbors in need of help nearby, please find and inform them.

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 10th that it will intensively operate the discovery and support of welfare crisis households until February next year to help vulnerable groups in need due to seasonal unemployment and cold waves during the full-fledged winter season.

The city will focus on discovering welfare crisis households to ensure that vulnerable groups are not left out during the phased recovery from COVID-19, and will prioritize winter livelihood stability support, protection of cold wave vulnerable groups, and the spread of a sharing culture.

To this end, public big data, welfare membership, and other social security information systems will be actively utilized, and public and private sectors will cooperate through each eup, myeon, and dong administrative welfare center, the Majungmul Guarantee Council, honorary social welfare officers (Happiness Keepers), and the Our Neighborhood Welfare Mobile Team to investigate and discover welfare crisis households.

Meanwhile, households identified as welfare crisis households will be supported with public benefits such as basic livelihood security and emergency welfare, and households exceeding the support criteria will be closely supported through the Suncheon SOS Center project, private institution sponsorship connections, and integrated case management.

A Suncheon city official said, “We ask for active reports and tips to the nearest eup, myeon, and dong administrative welfare centers, the Ministry of Health and Welfare call center, and Bokjiro to find welfare crisis households around us,” adding, “We will do our best to provide warmer customized services to citizens in welfare crisis situations.”
