To support the activities of the Dong Human Safety Net, the district produced 1,000 copies of the guidebook containing ▲roles of the Dong Human Safety Net members ▲criteria for identifying neighbors in need and methods for discovering crisis households ▲support projects for crisis households ▲reporting contact information, and distributed them to 15 dong community service centers.

The dong community service centers distribute the guidebook to the Dong Human Safety Net members and conduct training sessions on crisis household discovery activities.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "I hope this guidebook will provide practical help to the Dong Human Safety Net members in discovering crisis households in welfare blind spots," and added, "We will continue to promote various policies and provide support to strengthen the local social human safety net and establish a thorough welfare system."
