Gyeonggi Province will provide up to 12 million KRW in home repair costs for 140 aging detached houses.

On the 29th, Gyeonggi Province announced that this year it will implement the ‘Gyeonggi Province Detached House Repair Support Project,’ which supports up to 12 million KRW in home repair costs such as fence repairs, repainting peeling exterior walls, and waterproofing leaking rooftops for detached houses over 20 years old located in declining old downtown areas or New Town deregulated areas.

This year, Gyeonggi Province will carry out the support project for 140 houses in 10 areas including Suwon City.

The project scale by city and county is ▲30 houses each in Suwon and Anyang ▲15 houses each in Bucheon and Pyeongtaek ▲10 houses each in Gunpo, Gwangju, Namyangju, and Pocheon ▲5 houses each in Hanam and Anseong.

Gyeonggi Province will focus on safety facility support such as non-slip flooring, safety handrails, and threshold removal, specifically outlined in the guidelines, especially when elderly residents with mobility difficulties live in the house.

If selected for home repair support, a private expert will visit the site before construction to inspect the house’s aging condition and suggest construction methods suitable for the scope of work and site conditions through a ‘Visiting Home Repair Technical Consultation’ service.

Jung Jong-guk, head of the Gyeonggi Province Urban Regeneration Promotion Team, stated, "We will actively promote the ‘Gyeonggi Province Detached House Repair Support Project’ to improve poor living environments and spread a culture of repairing and reusing homes."
