This project was established to promote residential stability for residents by supporting part of the costs for replacing and repairing aging elevators, installing safety-related facilities, and installing air conditioners in security offices.

The ‘Support Project for Facility Improvement of Aging Elevators’ has allocated a budget of 120 million KRW this year and plans to support up to 50 million KRW per complex.

Eligible applicants are apartment complexes subject to mandatory management that require replacement or repair of elevators that have been installed or replaced for more than 15 years, need elevator replacement or repair according to the long-term repair plan, and have not received any facility subsidy from Gwangju City in the past five years.

Additionally, starting this year, to alleviate residents’ concerns about electric vehicle charging facilities and to create a safe residential environment, a new support category for safety-related facility installation such as relocation of electric vehicle charging facilities has been established, with a total support budget of 400 million KRW and up to 25 million KRW per complex.

Furthermore, to improve the working environment of security workers, a total of 1.8 million KRW will be provided for air conditioner installation costs in security offices of apartment complexes that do not have air conditioners or have outdated ones, with up to 600,000 KRW supported per complex.

The application period is until February 14, and apartment complexes wishing to apply for the support project can submit the relevant documents by visiting or mailing them to the Housing Division of Gwangju City Hall. Detailed support criteria and related forms can be found on the city’s website under Notices & Announcements and the News section.
