Bucheon City Supports Relocation for 1,200 Semi-basement Rental Housing Units

On the 14th, Bucheon City in Gyeonggi announced that it will promote the 'Housing Upgrade Support Project' to assist 1,200 households living in semi-basement homes with a history of flood damage and disaster risk in relocating to rental housing.

The city will support households that have lived in basement floors for more than three months, are homeless household members, and do not exceed certain income and asset criteria, through screening, to relocate to Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) jeonse rental housing or purchased rental housing. It will also provide assistance with moving expenses and settlement after relocation.

Through the Bucheon City Housing Welfare Center, the city plans to send project information to households with a history of flood damage to provide a stable and hygienic living environment. Additionally, for households that do not meet the eligibility criteria, flood prevention facilities such as water barriers will be installed.

Jo Yong-ik, Mayor of Bucheon City, stated, "We will establish a solid and safe housing welfare safety net to provide comfortable housing for vulnerable groups living in frequently flooded homes."
