The agreement ceremony was held on the 7th at the district office, attended by Mayor Park Il-ha of Dongjak-gu and representatives of local home repair construction companies. When residents in need of home repairs inquire by phone, they are connected to cooperative companies and can receive a 10% discount on construction costs.


Meanwhile, the district operates the visiting civil complaint task force for low-income housing-vulnerable groups called "Dongjak Jipsa." "Dongjak Jipsa" is a project where the civil complaint task force repairs or replaces small-scale housing inconveniences in daily life (supporting material costs up to 50,000 KRW once per low-income vulnerable household, up to three times a year). However, if on-site repairs are not possible, the case is handled by connecting to the pool of home repair cooperative companies.


Additionally, for low-income housing-vulnerable groups requiring medium to large-scale repairs such as wallpapering, flooring, roofing, insulation, and waterproofing, repairs are carried out using the pool of home repair cooperative companies in connection with private sponsorships.



Mayor Park Il-ha said, “Through the home repair project, we will enhance residents’ housing welfare and revitalize the local economy,” adding, “We will continue to strive to find blind spots in housing welfare and establish a dense housing safety net.”
