GH Invites Private Businesses for Public Housing Innovation Model Pilot Project

Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corporation (GH) is inviting private businesses to participate in the 'GH Public Housing Community Innovation Model Pilot Project.'

This call for proposals aims to create an integrated community space for all generations, from infants and young children to middle-aged and elderly residents, by utilizing part of the neighborhood living facilities within public rental housing. It is an innovative public-private partnership model for community operation that provides resident-tailored programs themed around health. GH will be responsible for providing the space and covering the construction costs, while private businesses will be in charge of both the creation and operation of the space.

The pilot project site consists of two neighborhood living facility buildings (a total of 28 units) located within the Gyeonggi Happy Housing complex in Block A5 of Dasan Jigum District, Namyangju City. GH plans to expand the project to the third phase of new towns and other areas in the future.

Applicants must submit a business plan detailing their space development and regional coexistence strategies when applying. Only single corporations with proven capabilities in establishing and operating such communities are eligible to participate. The basic project period is five years, with the possibility of renewal in five-year increments.

Applications can only be submitted in person on August 8, and the goal is to open the community space within this year.

In line with the 'Public Housing Level Up Innovation Roadmap' announced in February, GH is leading public housing innovation by introducing this community operation model, supplying GH-specialized modular housing, and implementing net-zero apartments.

Lee Jongseon, Acting President of GH, stated, "This pilot project is a meaningful first step in experimenting with a new community model for public housing," and added, "We hope it will become an innovative model for public rental housing that provides Gyeonggi residents with more opportunities for health and addresses social issues such as low birth rates and an aging population."
