LH Launches First Housing Policy Training for Youth Center Employees... "Enhancing Field Outreach"

Strengthening Housing Counseling Capabilities
at 223 Youth Centers Nationwide

In an effort to enhance the effectiveness of its housing policy outreach, Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) has, for the first time, launched housing counseling training for employees working at youth centers.

LH announced on May 9 that it recently held the "Visiting Youth Housing Counseling Center (for employees)" at the Seoul Metropolitan Youth Center in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The "Visiting Youth Housing Counseling Center" is a program in which relevant institutions such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Central Youth Support Center collaborate to visit places where young people gather, such as universities, military bases, and youth centers, to promote youth housing policies. Last year, the program was conducted three times at locations including the Chungbuk Youth Center and Korea Aerospace University.

This training was provided to employees of 223 youth centers nationwide, who serve as a link between young people and government policies. Youth centers are places that provide young people with information on a variety of youth policies and programs, including employment, welfare, and culture. The training focused on practical content that could be applied directly in on-site counseling. Topics covered included public housing information, key points to watch for when signing a jeonse contract, and ways to prevent jeonse fraud, among other cases. After the training, satisfaction and suggestions for improvement were also collected to be reflected in future programs.

LH plans to operate the housing counseling center at least once a month at locations frequented by young people through the end of the year. The company aims not only to deliver information, but also to establish housing counseling centers in places where large numbers of young people gather, in order to facilitate communication.

Oh Juhun, Head of the Public Housing Division at LH, stated, "We launched this employee-focused program for the first time to enhance the understanding of housing policies and counseling expertise among youth center employees, who are at the forefront of delivering youth policies." He added, "We will continue to strengthen tailored housing support to improve housing stability and quality of life for young people, who are the driving force of our society."
