Gwangju Nam-gu Supports Vulnerable Groups with Heating Kerosene and LPG Purchase Costs

Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is implementing a support project for the purchase of heating kerosene and LPG to realize energy welfare for vulnerable residents.

On the 26th, Nam-gu announced, "We will provide cards that can be used to purchase heating kerosene or LPG to basic livelihood security households and low-income residents so that they can stay warm during the winter."

The applicants are households using kerosene or LPG boilers as heating means, including basic livelihood security households receiving livelihood, medical, housing, and education benefits under the National Basic Livelihood Security Act, and low-income households with income recognized as 50% or less of the median income.

Households wishing to receive heating cost support must submit an application form to the administrative welfare center of their resident registration district by January 19 of next year.

The heating cost purchase card can be used from January 10 to June 30 of next year.

Households that received energy vouchers this year will be supported with amounts ranging from 136,100 KRW to 343,800 KRW depending on the number of household members, while households that did not receive energy vouchers will be provided with 592,000 KRW.
