The support targets homeless youth aged 19 to 34 who live separately from their parents in housing with a deposit of 50 million KRW or less and monthly rent of 600,000 KRW or less.


The income criteria require the youth household income to be 60% or less of the median income (1-person household 기준 1,246,735 KRW) and the original household income to be 100% or less of the median income (3-person household 기준 4,434,816 KRW).


Applicants should prepare a monthly rent support application form, income and property declaration, pledge, lease contract, proof of monthly rent transfer, bankbook copy, and detailed family relation certificate, and submit them through the "Bokjiro" website or the administrative welfare center of their address.


After verifying eligibility, monthly rent support will be provided for one year from the first month of support.


A county official said, "We aim to help stabilize the lives of youth through rent support," adding, "We will continue to discover and promote various support projects so that youth can have hope and plan for their future."
