Pohang City Hall, Gyeongbuk.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Lee Seryeong] Pohang City in Gyeongbuk is warming the local community by implementing a home repair project for self-owned households receiving housing benefits.

Pohang City has been promoting indoor remodeling projects such as insulation and window replacement, and LED lighting replacement in kitchens and living rooms for vulnerable groups eligible for housing benefits in Yeonil-eup.

POSCO Gangpan employees participated in the project, collecting 5 tons of garbage left inside and outside the houses and providing kimchi refrigerators and washing machines.

The Yeonil-eup Community Security Council paid temporary residence costs during the project period, and the case manager sponsored sinks, blankets, and other items.

The city promoted a home repair project for 365 vulnerable households with a budget of 2.1 billion KRW this year. Over the past three years, it has invested 8.1 billion KRW to carry out housing maintenance projects for 1,300 households.

Every year, energy efficiency improvement projects are carried out targeting 300 households in welfare blind spots such as basic livelihood recipients and near-poverty groups, supporting insulation and window construction, boilers, and cooling devices.

Lee Kang-deok, mayor of Pohang City, said, “To ensure housing stability for local residents, we will continue to promote various projects next year, including rural disabled housing renovation projects.”
