[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] On the 2nd, Ulju-gun signed a written 'this year's housing benefit repair and maintenance project consignment agreement' with the Busan-Ulsan Regional Headquarters of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) to smoothly promote the house repair support project for households receiving the National Basic Livelihood Security housing benefit.

This project targets owner-occupied households among housing benefit recipients and supports comprehensive housing improvement by evaluating the aging of the house structure safety, facilities, and finishing conditions. To ensure professionalism and systematic management of housing improvement, the entire project is entrusted to the Korea Land and Housing Corporation for implementation.

The county selected 46 households this year and plans to invest 290 million KRW in repair and maintenance project expenses.

The project is divided into minor repairs (wallpapering, flooring, window replacement, etc.), moderate repairs (insulation, heating work, etc.), and major repairs (roof, bathroom improvement, kitchen improvement work, etc.). Additionally, convenience facilities for vulnerable residents such as the elderly and disabled (removal of thresholds, widening of doorways, etc.) will be installed.

The house repair support project expenses will be provided up to a maximum of 4.57 million KRW for minor repairs, 8.49 million KRW for moderate repairs, and 12.41 million KRW for major repairs per household, depending on the repair scope.

An Ulju-gun official said, "Through the consignment agreement, we expect that the professional and efficient implementation of the project will greatly help improve the living environment of vulnerable groups. Since the housing benefit selection criteria have been raised this year, we will actively identify those in need of support and do our best to eliminate welfare blind spots."

If urgent housing environment improvement is deemed necessary during the project period, additional repairs may be requested within the budget scope even for those not included in the annual repair plan. Those wishing to receive support can visit their local eup/myeon/administrative welfare center or apply through the Bokjiro website.
