Daegu Urban Development Corporation Provides 'New Life Kits' to 20 Independent Youths

Daegu Urban Development Corporation (President Jeong Myeong-seop) supported the ‘New Household Kit’ on the 4th to encourage the independence of youth aging out of care at the Daegu Youth Independence Support Center.

Since last year, the corporation has been providing essential household appliances such as vacuum cleaners to youths who must become independent from youth facilities through the Daegu Youth Independence Support Center. This year, they supported 20 youths with New Household Kits consisting of essential household appliances and ready-to-eat meals worth approximately 600,000 KRW per person.

In addition, the corporation accepted the opinion of the Daegu Youth Independence Support Center that laundry facilities are insufficient compared to the number of youths residing in the facilities, and donated additional washing machines to two youth facilities.

Daegu Urban Development Corporation has been promoting various social contribution projects aimed at improving housing conditions for vulnerable groups.

In May of this year, they launched the ‘Happy Plus! Hope Plus! Housing Space Improvement Project’ in collaboration with the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, providing monthly support for home repair costs and rental deposits for children living in housing poverty. In November, they supported home repairs for national merit recipients through the ‘Happy HOME Home Repair Volunteer Activity’ in partnership with the Korea Real Estate Board.

This New Household Kit support project for youth aging out of care was carried out through the Daegu social enterprise, Muhansangsa Social Cooperative, contributing not only to local youth but also to the revitalization of the local social economy, making it a more meaningful contribution project.

Jeong Myeong-seop, President of Daegu Urban Development Corporation, said, “We will support youths who will lead Daegu’s future in various ways so that they do not lose hope,” and added, “We will continue to practice ESG management to become a local public enterprise that leads citizen happiness and spatial innovation.”
