Gwangju Buk-gu, Operation of Community-Based Housing Welfare Activation Program

On the 17th, Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that it will operate the 'Community-type Housing Welfare Activation Program' starting from the 28th to create a healthy and enjoyable living environment in public rental housing.

The Community-type Housing Welfare Activation Program was established to provide communication opportunities for residents of public rental housing to interact and to revitalize communities within each complex.

Buk-gu plans to collaborate with related organizations such as the Korea Land and Housing Corporation, the Housing Management Corporation, and comprehensive social welfare centers to ensure the program operates effectively. They also intend to actively encourage participation from reclusive vulnerable groups to proactively prevent solitary deaths.

The program will be operated in entertainment spaces within public rental housing complexes such as community centers, senior centers, and welfare centers, offering various experiential programs under six themes across three major areas: health, coexistence, and fun. These themes include ▲play ▲healing ▲food ▲intergenerational empathy ▲craft ▲ecotherapy.

This program, targeting residents of 14 public rental housing complexes in Buk-gu, is scheduled to run until December. Each session will accommodate about 10 participants and will be offered one to three times per week. Residents interested in participating can inquire at the rental housing community center.

After the program concludes, Buk-gu plans to conduct participant surveys to identify new programs and improve the operation direction centered on user demand, aiming to continuously provide highly satisfactory programs.

A Buk-gu official stated, "Public rental housing is a fundamental social safety net that can address blind spots in housing welfare," adding, "We will continue to support the creation of a bright and vibrant residential community where residents of public rental housing can enjoy comfortable housing rights and where various generations and social classes live together harmoniously."
