Gokseong-gun Launches Home Repair Support for Housing-Vulnerable Groups

Promotion of Housing Benefit and Repair Maintenance Benefit Projects for 74 Households

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cha Jong-sun] Gokseong-gun, Jeonnam announced that it will promote the 2022 Housing Benefit Repair and Maintenance Allowance project to support housing stability and improve living conditions for housing benefit recipients.

The Repair and Maintenance Allowance refers to support for home repairs for basic livelihood security housing benefit recipients with a household income below 46% of the median income who own their homes.

The support amount is determined within the ranges of minor repair 4.57 million KRW, medium repair 8.49 million KRW, and major repair 12.41 million KRW, considering the recipient's recognized income, repair and maintenance costs, and the aging condition of the house.

This year, Gokseong-gun will carry out the Repair and Maintenance Allowance project for a total of 74 households (53 minor repair households, 9 medium repair households, and 12 major repair households).

The total project cost is 500 million KRW, and work such as wallpapering, flooring replacement, roof repair, and kitchen improvement will be conducted for the target households.

To promote the project, the county signed a consignment agreement for the 2022 Repair and Maintenance Allowance with the Korea Land and Housing Corporation Gwangju-Jeonnam Regional Headquarters on the 4th.

As a specialized dedicated institution, Gokseong-gun expects the project to be carried out effectively and systematically.

A county official said, “We will do our best to reduce the repair cost burden for the housing vulnerable class and provide a safe and pleasant living environment to further improve their quality of life.”
