Starting next year, residents of Gyeonggi Province will be able to apply for nine home improvement-related programs?including old house repairs, residential solar power support, and water pipe renovation in the Seoul metropolitan area?all at once.


Previously, support for home improvement projects was often managed separately by different departments. As a result, residents had to individually seek out information about each program and apply on their own. This led to situations where some residents missed out on support because they were unaware of certain programs or missed the application period.


To address these inconveniences, Gyeonggi Province has decided to consolidate information on previously separate home improvement programs, allowing residents to check and apply for all available support at once, ensuring that no one misses out.


Applications that request program linkage will be collected and shared with the relevant departments to facilitate support. Since this year's budget has already been allocated, the integrated application system will begin next year.
