Suwon City Provides 400,000 KRW Relocation Support for Housing-Vulnerable Groups Including Those in Ssokbang

Suwon City is launching a relocation support project for people living in abnormal dwellings such as small rooms.

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province will provide relocation expenses to vulnerable housing groups such as residents of jjokbang (tiny rooms) and goshiwon (small dormitory-style rooms).

The support targets vulnerable housing groups living in abnormal residences such as jjokbang and goshiwon who move to private rental housing using public rental housing or interest-free loans of up to 50 million KRW as a deposit.

Suwon City will provide 400,000 KRW for relocation expenses, including moving costs and essential goods purchases. Expenses for alcohol, tobacco, clothing, medical treatment, luxury items, meals, cleaning, and brokerage fees are excluded from support.

Applications can be made at the local community service center of the area moved into within three months from the moving-in date.

A city official stated, "Suwon City has directly started supporting moving expenses for residents of abnormal residences from this year, which were previously supported using donations through agreements with public institutions such as LH and HUG. We will continue to lead efforts to reduce the relocation burden on vulnerable housing groups and provide customized housing welfare."
