The "Mobile Welfare Consultation Room" is a one-on-one integrated welfare consultation service that directly visits citizens who have difficulty accessing welfare services due to time or location constraints. Previously, the service focused on residents of rental apartments, but starting this year, it will be expanded to include multi-use facilities and small and medium-sized enterprises within industrial complexes. In particular, evening consultation hours (6?8 p.m.) have been introduced for office workers, and the service will be provided at locations with high foot traffic, such as Nambu University Municipal International Swimming Pool and Gwangju Songjeong Station. Consultations will be held one to two times per month and will continue until the end of the year.

District Mayor Park Byungkyu stated, "We have expanded the locations and hours for consultations so that more citizens can benefit from welfare services," adding, "We will create a happier Gwangsan District for everyone through a more robust welfare safety net."
