This visit was promoted as part of the ‘Companionship for a Happy Old Age’ initiative to help single elderly people who are going through a difficult time due to the cold wave and economic hardships have a warm winter.

On that day, Mayor Kang carefully checked the elderly person's living conditions, directly listened to their difficulties on site, and provided guidance on winter safety and health-related matters.

He then instructed the relevant departments to prepare solutions to address the difficulties by linking various welfare and support administrative services conducted by the city to ensure the elderly have a safe and healthy winter.

Mayor Kang Su-hyun said, “Visiting vulnerable households provided an opportunity to understand the difficulties of various citizens. Based on this, we will not only prepare diverse welfare policies but also do our best to ensure that citizens can spend a healthy and happy old age.”

Meanwhile, since taking office in July 2022, Mayor Kang is known to have visited a total of 38 single elderly households to guide them on customized welfare services for the elderly, such as linking necessary support projects, improving living environments, and providing sponsored goods.
