Yeongju City in Gyeongbuk Province will provide moving cost support of up to 500,000 KRW on the 9th to ensure housing stability for young people.


The youth moving cost support project, the first of its kind in Gyeongbuk Province, covers actual expenses incurred during moving, including moving labor and packing fees, real estate brokerage fees, and move-in cleaning costs.

The project targets young household heads aged 19 to 39 who have rented (jeonse or monthly rent) or purchased a house after January 1 of this year, moved into Yeongju City, and have lived there for more than three months, with health insurance premiums below 150% of the median income standard.


Applications can be submitted by visiting the nearest eup, myeon, or dong administrative welfare center or the City Hall Job and Economy Division by December 20, attaching copies of the housing sales contract or lease agreement, proof of actual moving expenses, and health insurance payment confirmation or qualification certificate.


Support is available even if there are cohabitants on the resident registration (such as parents, spouse, siblings), but only if the buyer (or renter) is the young household head themselves. Cases where the house is purchased or rented from parents are excluded from eligibility.


A Yeongju City official stated, “While Seoul provides up to 400,000 KRW in moving cost support for young people, it is very rare for other local governments to offer moving cost support.”



Kim Young-su, head of the Job and Economy Division, said, “By supporting moving costs for young people moving into Yeongju from other regions, we aim to alleviate their economic burden and expect an increase in the local youth population. We will continue to actively gather opinions from housing-vulnerable youth and develop and implement various policies to help them settle stably in Yeongju.”
