[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Ulju-gun, Ulsan City, will provide an advance payment of part of the heating costs scheduled to be supported in the second half of this year to 404 local senior centers.


This advance payment of heating costs is being promoted to support senior centers struggling with operations due to unprecedented cold waves in winter and soaring energy prices.


Ulju-gun plans to pay 200,000 KRW from the second half heating support funds to each senior center within this month and secure additional budget after investigating the actual use of heating costs.


County Governor Isung-geol said, “We will do our best to support heating costs for senior centers that serve as shelters for the elderly vulnerable to cold waves so that the elderly can spend a warm winter without worrying about heating expenses.”



Ulju-gun will invest a total of approximately 8.88 billion KRW in heating costs, 2.2 million KRW annually per local senior center this year. In addition, 3.6 billion KRW will be supported for revitalizing senior centers through health and cultural program operations.
