Guro-gu (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) has paid a reward for the first time to a resident who reported a vulnerable household since the implementation of the 'Vulnerable Household Reporting Reward'.

The recipient of the reward was Mr. Yoo, a Yakult delivery manager, who reported vulnerable household A, facing difficulties, to the Guro 2-dong Community Service Center and received a reward of 30,000 KRW.

Last January, while delivering Yakult, Mr. Yoo discovered A, who was experiencing a decline in income and financial hardship due to deteriorating health, and requested assistance from the community center. The assigned welfare planner immediately visited A's home to assess the situation.

For A, who was in a crisis due to medical expenses and poor housing conditions, the welfare planner connected and provided support through the National Emergency Medical Expenses and the Care SOS Service (meal support, housing convenience, cleaning and disinfection services), as well as additional supplies including groceries.

Additionally, last month A was selected as a basic livelihood security recipient, enabling access to living expenses, housing costs, and medical support.

The Vulnerable Household Reporting Reward system provides 30,000 KRW per report to individuals who discover and report households in need due to complex crisis situations. Reports can be made to the local community service center of the reporter's address or via the KakaoTalk channel 'Guro-gu Vulnerable Household Report Talk'.

Moon Heon-il, Mayor of Guro-gu, said, “Please look out for neighbors who are struggling in daily life and report vulnerable households immediately upon discovery. The interest of local residents can be a great help to neighbors in crisis.”
