[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Im Seong-hwa, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Council, has taken active steps to address child housing poverty.

According to the Gwangju Seo-gu Council on the 14th, the "Support Ordinance for Alleviating Child Housing Poverty," which Councilor Im proposed as the main sponsor on the 9th, was approved as originally proposed by the relevant standing committee (Social and Urban Committee).

The ordinance includes ▲establishment of basic and implementation plans ▲surveys and research ▲housing poverty alleviation projects ▲establishment and composition of the Child Housing Poverty Alleviation Committee ▲administrative and financial support ▲building cooperative systems, among other related matters.

Councilor Im said, "I proposed this ordinance as the main sponsor to respond proactively and systematically to the deepening issue of child housing poverty," adding, "Reported cases of harm to children living in housing poverty include not only physical illnesses such as allergies, asthma, and severe obesity but also serious emotional and cognitive developmental disorders."

He continued, "I hope that through this ordinance, children living in housing poverty within the district will be provided with a comfortable and stable life," and added, "I also hope that Seo-gu, Gwangju, will lead the way in solving child housing poverty issues, in line with achieving four welfare-related awards this year."

The ordinance is now awaiting final approval at the 3rd plenary session of the 308th regular meeting scheduled for the 20th.
