[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will provide a total of 300 million KRW, giving 2 million KRW per household to 1,500 vulnerable households not receiving government support.

Yongin City announced on the 12th that it has prepared a total of 300 million KRW in "Special Support Fund for Daily Recovery" to alleviate the livelihood burden of vulnerable groups due to the recent rapid rise in prices.

The support targets crisis households with a median income between 51% and 75% who are excluded from government support such as temporary emergency living support funds.

The city will receive recommendations for eligible recipients from each eup, myeon, and dong by the 15th, and through the Gyeonggi Social Welfare Community Chest, will pay 200,000 KRW per household into the recipients' accounts on the 27th.

A city official said, "This fund was prepared with neighborly donations to support vulnerable groups who do not receive government benefits," adding, "We hope this support fund will help alleviate the economic difficulties of vulnerable groups even a little and serve as an opportunity to improve the perception of welfare."

Meanwhile, the temporary emergency living support fund provided by the government for National Basic Livelihood Security recipients and near-poverty groups will be paid in Yongin local currency at eup, myeon, and dong administrative welfare centers until the 1st of next month.
