Suwon City Launches 'Housing Upgrade Support Project' for Vulnerable Residential Groups

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province has been selected as a leading local government for the housing upgrade support project for vulnerable housing groups.

On the 7th, Suwon City announced that it was selected as a leading local government by participating in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's '2022 Housing Upgrade Support Project for Vulnerable Housing Groups' contest, and will carry out the housing upgrade support project for the third consecutive year.

The housing upgrade support project for vulnerable housing groups provides integrated support for citizens living in 'non-housing' such as jjokbang (tiny rooms) and gosiwon (boarding rooms) to move to public rental housing, and helps them become self-reliant and settle after moving.

This year, the city is investing a total of 80 million won, including 40 million won from the national government, 16 million won from the provincial government, and 24 million won from the city government to carry out the project.

Previously, as part of the housing upgrade support project, the city supported the relocation of 104 households in 2020 and 164 households in 2021.

A city official emphasized, "Through the 'Housing Upgrade Support Project' carried out for three consecutive years, we will focus on supporting the relocation of vulnerable housing citizens living in non-housing," adding, "We will also do our best to connect 'emergency temporary support housing' for citizens who need urgent housing support."
