Yongin City Expands Support Program for Non-Residential Dwellers

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will provide one-stop support from applying for public rental housing to moving and move-in cleaning to stabilize the housing of non-residential residents such as goshiwon and jjokbang.

On the 2nd, Yongin City announced that it will promote the 'Housing Upgrade Support Project' to find households living in poor conditions and help them move into public rental housing.

The support targets citizens who have lived in non-residential places such as goshiwon, jjokbang, and vinyl houses for more than three months and whose monthly average income per urban worker household in the previous year is 70% or less (2,692,468 KRW for a single-person household).

The city decided to prioritize support for 50 households and secured a total budget of 80 million KRW, including 40 million KRW in national funds.

In particular, the city plans to discover eligible candidates mainly around Dankook University in Jukjeon 3-dong, Suji-gu, where 25% (46 places) of the goshiwons in the district are located.

This is based on the judgment that housing welfare support is urgent because the residential environment is poor due to aging facilities and low-income groups such as daily workers use these places as residences.

In addition, to help them settle stably in their new homes, the city will continuously manage support by linking jobs or cooperating with related organizations such as the local community security council to provide welfare support.

A city official said, "This is to help those who gave up moving due to lack of information or complicated procedures for moving into public rental housing by approaching them with on-site, close support to stabilize their housing," and promised, "We will continue counseling and support so that they feel a sense of belonging as members of the community."
