Group homes are small-scale child protection facilities operated in apartments or multi-family houses to help children and adolescents in need of protection grow up safely and become independent later. Currently, about 500 group homes are operating nationwide, many of which are aging and facing difficulties in facility renovation due to cost issues.

Accordingly, LX Hausys has launched a new social contribution project this year in partnership with the nonprofit organizations Habitat for Humanity Korea and the Korea Child and Youth Group Home Association (Seoul Metropolitan Child Shared Living Family Support Center) to assist in renovating aging group home facilities.

The recently renovated group home ‘Haetsal Goun Jip’ is a detached house with an area of 114㎡ (34 pyeong), currently housing five children and adolescents. Due to severe leakage, the ceiling and walls were stained with mold, and the entrance and inner doors, which are used daily, were broken, posing a risk of safety accidents, making renovation urgent.

Since the end of October, LX Hausys has supported a large-scale renovation project over about a month by providing windows, flooring materials, wallpaper, doors, inner doors, and furniture boards. ‘Haetsal Goun Jip’ has been transformed into a space where children can live safely and warmly.

At the completion ceremony, Kim Jirang, Facility Manager of the group home ‘Haetsal Goun Jip,’ said, “We were very worried that the children might get hurt due to the old facility problems, but thanks to LX Hausys’s support, our Haetsal Goun Jip has become more comfortable and safe, and we are very grateful.”

An LX Hausys official said, “We hope that through this improvement work, the children at ‘Haetsal Goun Jip’ can live brighter and healthier lives,” adding, “We will continue to support so that young people can nurture their dreams in safer spaces.”

Meanwhile, LX Hausys completed facility renovation support for the group home ‘Namuya’ located in Seoul in July, and since 2010, it has continuously carried out the “Creating Happy Spaces” campaign to improve the environments of local children’s centers and youth protection facilities by utilizing its interior business capabilities.
