Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) and Lotte Construction carried out a housing environment improvement project targeting 9 vulnerable households.

In May, the district and Lotte Construction signed a practical agreement and began full-scale project preparations. Aiming to enhance welfare for housing-vulnerable groups, they practiced warm sharing linked to the company's social contribution activities.

The beneficiaries this time were 9 households including basic livelihood security recipients, elderly living alone, and disabled families residing in old low-rise houses. In particular, priority was given to managing semi-basement households at high risk of flooding in preparation for the summer heavy rains.

Considering the housing conditions of these households, necessary repairs such as wallpapering, flooring, electrical and lighting replacements, and wall insulation were carried out. Additionally, cleaning, laundry, and mold removal were assisted to create a pleasant and organized living environment.

On the first volunteer day, the 13th, District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho and Lotte Construction Executive Director Gong Seong-tae also participated. They visited a disabled family caring for a physically challenged father and helped with home repairs. They assisted by moving heavy items including built-in wardrobes and cleaning tasks such as waste disposal.

An elderly resident expressed joy, saying, “I used to live depressed in a narrow room with a discomforting body, but seeing our clean and bright home now gives me hope.”

District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho stated, “Various entities such as companies, foundations, and cooperatives have united to create warm change,” adding, “Since housing welfare is the most important among the essential conditions of life?food, clothing, and shelter?we will do our best to establish a stable living environment.”

Going forward, the district plans to actively participate in spreading a culture of sharing with companies and realize companionship with housing-vulnerable groups.
