Korea Housing Finance Corporation Supports Summer Assistance for Vulnerable Groups

HF Corporation and University Student Volunteers Provide Heat-Blocking Paint Service

Korea Housing Finance Corporation (HF, President Choi Junwoo) announced on the 4th that it has carried out the 'Cool Roof Painting Social Contribution Activity,' which involves painting the roofs or rooftops of houses and buildings with special paint that reflects sunlight and blocks solar heat to prevent heatwave damage for vulnerable housing groups.

'Cool Roof Painting' can actually lower indoor temperatures by about 2 to 3 degrees Celsius during the summer.

This volunteer activity, conducted by HF employees and a university student volunteer group in Bugok 4-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan, targeted 20 households of elderly people living alone, as recommended by the Busan Volunteer Center.

An HF official stated, "We hope this activity will help elderly people living alone have a cooler summer and also help reduce their cooling costs, even if just a little," and added, "The corporation will continue to carry out various social contribution activities that can benefit the local community together with future generations."

Since 2016, the 'HF University Student Volunteer Group' has engaged in various social contribution activities, including ▲laundering blankets and distributing emergency kits for elderly people living alone, and ▲distributing coal briquettes to energy-vulnerable groups.
