Changwon City Implements Home Repair Project for 228 Low-Income Households with Community-Based Services

21 Billion KRW Invested This Year
Homeowners Eligible for Housing Benefits with Median Income at or Below 48% Targeted

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam Province will invest 2.1 billion KRW this year to implement a housing repair and maintenance benefit (home repair) project for low-income households.

The beneficiaries are low-income households who own their homes and are eligible for housing benefits with a median income at or below 48%. A total of 228 households are expected to benefit from this project.

Depending on the condition of the housing structure, support is divided into minor, medium, and major repairs. The support amounts are 5.9 million KRW for minor repairs (such as wallpapering and flooring replacement), 10.95 million KRW for medium repairs (such as window, insulation, and heating work), and 16.01 million KRW for major repairs (such as bathroom and roof improvements). In addition, convenience facilities for vulnerable residents, such as safety handles, will be installed for households with people with disabilities or elderly residents.

The city plans to sign a consignment agreement with the Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), the dedicated agency for repair and maintenance benefits designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, within this month to ensure smooth implementation of the project.

Park Seongok, Director of Urban Policy, stated, "We expect this project to improve the poor residential environment into a more comfortable and safe home," and added, "We will do our best to enhance housing conditions by promoting demand-oriented home repair projects in the future."
