Suwon’s youth housing welfare policy, the Independent Youth Share House CON, provides a shared living space where youths under 29 preparing for independence?who are in blind spots of government housing support?can live stably for two years without paying rent, while supporting their independent activities.

The deposit and rent are fully covered by Suwon city, and residents only need to pay management fees and utilities. Furniture, home appliances, and daily necessities are provided in both private and shared spaces.

Suwon offers ‘independence support services’ to residents. It prioritizes access to youth-related services in the local community, provides information on employment and entrepreneurship, and connects residents with related institutions.

Additionally, it links residents with local volunteer organizations as mentors and mentees to support psychological and social stability, and offers priority for rental housing and rental deposit support to those leaving the facility at term.

A Suwon city official stated, "We hope Share House CON helps young adults preparing for independence who must live on their own to develop their independence capabilities and plan for their future."
