Bucheon-si Promotes 'Hansseop Happy House' Project to Address Housing Welfare Blind Spots

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province is promoting the 'Hansup Happy House' project to improve the housing environment for marginalized groups in order to eliminate welfare blind spots.

Following a business agreement with the Gyeonggi-do branch of the Korea Housing Construction Association in April, the city announced on the 11th that it has also signed an agreement with the Bucheon Regional Architects Association of the Korea Institute of Architects to jointly promote the project.

The support targets include welfare blind spots such as single-parent families, juvenile families, elderly living alone, and people with disabilities who have not received assistance.

The city plans to replace wallpaper and flooring in the homes of marginalized groups and improve energy efficiency through insulation work. Within this month, support recipients will be selected from applicants, and housing repair work will begin.

Jo Yong-ik, mayor of Bucheon, stated, "A good living environment improves the quality of life," adding, "We will strive to build close cooperative relationships with partner organizations so that 'Hansup Happy House' becomes a representative housing welfare project of Bucheon."
