Jungnang-gu Supports Repair Costs for 158 Old Houses This Year

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) held a performance sharing meeting for the ‘Safe Home Repair Assistance Project’.

The ‘Safe Home Repair Assistance Project’ provides subsidies for home repair costs targeting low-rise houses over 10 years old as of the announcement date, including homes of vulnerable residential households, semi-basement houses, and old houses within the housing performance improvement support zones.

At the performance sharing meeting held on the 14th in the Planning Situation Room of Jungnang-gu Office, about 30 residents and project participants gathered to share cases of home repairs improved through the project and to express their impressions. Additionally, there was a time to encourage the stakeholders who contributed to the successful completion of ongoing construction works.

In particular, residents who directly participated in the home repair project presented improvement cases and expressed great satisfaction. One resident said, “Since the house is old, I was always worried about the cold and heating costs in winter, but thanks to the help of the district and the Home Repair Support Center, I can worry less starting this winter,” expressing gratitude.

Since 2019, the district has established and operated the Jungnang Home Repair Support Center to assist with the complicated application procedures and to provide residents with expert consultations and on-site inspections related to home repairs.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “Many residents found it difficult to even consider repairs due to high costs and complicated procedures for old houses, but I am pleased that the Safe Home Repair Assistance Project could provide some help. We will continue to do our best to create a pleasant residential environment where all residents can live satisfactorily.”

The number of support cases for the Safe Home Repair Assistance Project in Jungnang-gu reached 158 this year alone, showing high interest and participation from residents. Since 2019, the district has received a cumulative total of 280 applications and has provided about 3.3 billion KRW in support through Seoul city funding.
