Daejeon City Provides 'Gender Equality Fund' Support to Low-Income Single-Parent Families

Daejeon City announced on the 20th that it will provide 48.95 million KRW from the Gender Equality Fund in the second half of this year to low-income single-parent families residing in the area.

The support will be provided for vocational training living expenses, medical treatment costs, and housing rental subsidies. Vocational training living expenses and medical treatment costs can be supported up to 1 million KRW per household each, and housing rental subsidies can be supported up to 3 million KRW.

Vocational training living expenses are provided to those who have received vocational training from the Ministry of Employment and Labor. Medical treatment costs can be supported if the patient has received outpatient treatment for more than 20 days or inpatient treatment for more than 10 days.

Housing rental subsidies are targeted at households that are scheduled to move into permanent rental housing but are unable to prepare the rental deposit.

Low-income single-parent families who meet the support requirements must visit the administrative welfare center in their jurisdiction by the 6th of next month to apply.

For more detailed information about the support, please refer to the website of each autonomous district or inquire through the local administrative welfare center.

Daejeon City plans to finalize the recipients through the Fund Operation Deliberation Committee next month after verifying supporting documents and conducting fact-finding investigations, and to start providing the support funds from November.

Min Dong-hee, Director of the Welfare Bureau of Daejeon City, said, “We will expand support through the Gender Equality Fund so that single-parent families are not socially marginalized and can achieve economic independence.”
