Gurye-gun Accepting Applications for 'Hometown Nest Support Project' Until the 30th

Providing University Students with 50,000 Won Monthly Housing Support, Applications Accepted Until November 30

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun announced that it will promote the "Hometown Shelter Support Project," which provides university students with 50,000 KRW per month in housing expenses to alleviate the financial burden of university students studying in other regions.

The project aims to create a young and healthy population structure by preventing young people studying in other regions from changing their registered address, and to alleviate the financial burden and foster hometown affection by supporting housing costs for students studying hard away from home. Applicants must have been registered residents of Gurye-gun for more than one year and be enrolled in a university or higher education institution in another region.

The Hometown Shelter Support Project can be supported for up to four years if the university student maintains their registered address in Gurye-gun. In the first half of 2022, 284 students received support.

University students who apply during this period will receive six months' worth of support for the second half of the year, paid individually at the end of December.

Meanwhile, to respond to the local extinction crisis caused by population decline, the county is implementing various policies not only through the Hometown Shelter Support Project but also by providing volume-based waste bags to new residents, supporting marriage congratulatory money for young couples, health checkup expenses for newlyweds, and childcare expenses for newborns.

County Governor Kim Sun-ho said, "I hope the Hometown Shelter Project will ease the housing burden of our students studying in other regions," and added, "We will continue to do our best to discover policies for young people who will lead the future of Gurye."
