Suwon City Investigates Households with Overdue Management and Rent Fees to Identify 'At-Risk Families'

A counselor is visiting households that have overdue maintenance fees to consult with the residents.

The city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province is conducting a comprehensive survey of households that have fallen behind on apartment management fees or public rental housing rents to identify 'housing crisis households.'

On the 4th, Suwon City announced that it will investigate 1,926 households that have been delinquent for more than four months in paying apartment management fees or public rental housing rents by September 8.

Suwon City plans to assess the living conditions by consulting household members over the phone to confirm crisis situations and connect households in need with appropriate welfare services.

For households that cannot be reached, the city will attempt contact through family members or neighbors, and if necessary, request cooperation from the police or fire department to check on the status of the individuals.

Households showing clear signs of crisis will be visited and counseled by the local customized welfare team, which will conduct a detailed investigation of their circumstances. The team will comprehensively review the situation and identify household members who wish to receive welfare benefits.

Since 2021, Suwon City has been conducting full surveys of those delinquent on apartment management fees and public housing rents to identify housing crisis households and provide appropriate support.

A Suwon City official stated, "We will continue to conduct annual comprehensive surveys to identify citizens in crisis and support them to live in stable housing."

Meanwhile, Suwon City operates a 'Housing Welfare Counseling Service' for citizens facing housing difficulties. This service provides one-stop counseling (offering various services through a single channel) on all housing-related matters, including upgrading housing for vulnerable groups, youth housing concerns, and improving housing environments. Any Suwon citizen can receive counseling on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
