Icheon-si Supports Housing Renovation for 72 Residential Benefit Recipients

LH Signs Consignment Agreement for Repair and Maintenance Allowance Project

On the 26th, Icheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced that it has signed a consignment agreement for the '2024 Housing Benefit Repair and Maintenance Project' with the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) Southern Gyeonggi Regional Headquarters to support housing repairs for housing benefit recipients.

The 'Housing Benefit Repair and Maintenance Project' supports housing repairs for housing benefit recipients who own and reside in their homes, considering factors such as recognized income and the aging condition of the house. Households with an income at or below 48% of the median income (2,750,358 KRW for a family of four) are eligible for support.

The repair and maintenance benefits are provided annually by LH upon request from Icheon City in accordance with relevant laws, and the recipients are determined through consultation between Icheon City and LH.

This year, the city plans to invest 680 million KRW to support a total of 72 households: 38 for minor repairs, 19 for moderate repairs, and 15 for major repairs. Based on the aging condition of the houses identified through on-site inspections, minor repairs such as wallpapering and flooring will receive up to 4.57 million KRW in support. Moderate repairs, including window replacement, insulation, and heating work, will receive 8.49 million KRW, while major repairs such as roof, bathroom, and kitchen renovations will receive 12.41 million KRW.

Kim Kyung-hee, Mayor of Icheon City, stated, "We will do our best to improve the housing environment, which is the foundation of life, so that citizens can live in a safe and clean environment."
