Goyang Special City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Lee Dong-hwan) announced on the 29th that it has published the 'Report on the Living Conditions and Satisfaction Survey of Residents Who Completed the Housing Upgrade Support Project for Vulnerable Housing Groups in Goyang City' and distributed it to 66 housing welfare-related institutions nationwide, including housing welfare centers.

The city conducted a living conditions and satisfaction survey targeting 101 households who moved into stable rental housing through the 'Housing Upgrade Support Project for Vulnerable Housing Groups' from 2022 to 2023, after living in non-housing such as goshiwon, vinyl houses, and inns, and then published the report.

In this survey, the average satisfaction score (out of 10) for the rental housing residence was 8.15, which was significantly higher by 5.35 points compared to the satisfaction score of the previous residence (2.80).

On the other hand, the average self-pay amount for housing deposits was 1,215,000 KRW, and the monthly rent was 175,000 KRW, showing a decrease of 344,000 KRW in deposit self-pay and 61,000 KRW in monthly rent compared to the previous unstable residences, indicating a reduction in housing cost burdens for economically vulnerable households.

A representative from the Goyang City Housing Welfare Center stated, “We will continue to actively promote the housing upgrade support project so that more citizens can move into rental housing with higher living satisfaction and reduced housing cost burdens.”

Meanwhile, the Goyang City Housing Welfare Center, which was uniquely established as a local government-operated center nationwide in July 2021, has been implementing the housing upgrade support project since 2022. The project started in 2020 in 11 metropolitan and basic local governments nationwide and is currently being conducted in 52 metropolitan and basic local governments as of 2024. According to the 2023 population census, about 6,000 households in Goyang City live in non-housing such as goshiwon, inns, and vinyl houses.
