Damyang-gun Selected for 'Infrastructure Establishment Project to Revitalize Self-Support Projects' to Improve Working Conditions

Secured 500 Million Won Budget for New Construction of Damyang Community Self-Sufficiency Center

Damyang County is making every effort to secure project funds, including national subsidies, for the construction of the Damyang Regional Self-Sufficiency Center.

According to the county on the 30th, it was selected for the "Self-Sufficiency Project Activation Infrastructure Construction Contest" conducted by the Korea Self-Sufficiency Welfare Development Institute and secured a budget of 500 million won.

The county plans to build a 660㎡ regional self-sufficiency center with the goal of completion in 2024 to provide systematic self-sufficiency services, including improving the working environment for residents participating in self-sufficiency projects.

Currently, the self-sufficiency center building is aging, and there are difficulties in accessibility for participants.

Therefore, the new self-sufficiency center will house self-sufficiency workplaces, offices, and training rooms all within one building to enhance user convenience and accessibility.

Through this, it is expected to provide safe and comfortable jobs to basic livelihood security recipients and near-poverty class participating in self-sufficiency projects, serving as a stepping stone not only for income activities of low-income groups but also for leading an independent life.

County Governor Lee Byeong-no said, "The construction of the self-sufficiency center, which plays an important role in providing job opportunities to residents in need of work and improving their self-reliance capabilities, will greatly contribute to the promotion of local employment welfare," adding, "We will support establishing a systematic self-sufficiency infrastructure to foster participants' will for independence and create stable living conditions."

Meanwhile, the Damyang Regional Self-Sufficiency Center, designated and managed by the Damyang County Welfare Foundation since 2019, currently operates 7 project groups and 3 self-sufficiency enterprises, providing jobs to about 70 low-income residents.
