Suyu 3-dong is the area with the highest number of single vulnerable households in Gangbuk-gu. Accordingly, the Suyu 3-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee formed the Alley Care Team in May last year and has been implementing the task of identifying welfare blind spot households in need of help and linking them to various welfare institutions as a Residents' Autonomy Committee agenda project this year. Among them, vulnerable youth will be linked and supported through Seoul Youth Center Gangbuk under this agreement.

Lee Soon-hee, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, stated, “Based on this cooperation in the private sector, we expect it to greatly help vulnerable youth recover their daily lives and advance socially,” and added, “We will work hard to establish practical and systematic support policies for youth in the future.”
