[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Tae-min] Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG) announced on the 18th that it sponsored a health food sharing project organized by the Busanjin-gu Senior and Disabled Welfare Center to celebrate Chobok (the first of the three hottest days of summer).

About 20 social welfare organizations in Busan, from the 13th to the 15th, delivered gift boxes consisting of chicken porridge and nutritious snacks to 10,000 elderly and disabled people vulnerable to the heat, based on sponsorship from HUG and five organizations in the Busan area.

Also, at the sponsorship fund delivery ceremony held on the 14th at the Busanjin-gu Senior and Disabled Welfare Center, about 100 people including HUG officials, Kim Young-wook, head of Busanjin-gu Office, Busanjin-gu Council officials, representatives of Busan base sponsor organizations, elderly, and disabled people attended to reflect on the meaning of sharing in the local community.

A HUG official said, "We hope this sponsorship has been of some help to the elderly and disabled in the Busan area," and added, "HUG will continue to promote various activities for vulnerable groups in the local community."

Meanwhile, HUG is continuously striving to resolve welfare blind spots and improve the environment in the local community through ▲support for redevelopment of youth housing concentration areas ▲support for renovation of public facilities ▲installation of wall greening in child-use facilities ▲creation of park green spaces ▲support for prevention of solitary deaths, among other efforts.
