Four Sites Including Beomseo Guhwa Youth-Specialized Housing Secure 41.2 Billion Won in National Funding
286 Units for Youth, Workers, and Seniors to Be Supplied by 2032

Ulsan City has applied for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's "2025 Specialized Public Rental Housing Construction Project" for four locations in Ulju-gun and Dong-gu, and all have been selected.


The selected projects are: Beomseo Guhwa Youth-Specialized Housing, Onsan Deoksin Job-Linked Supportive Housing, Seonbawi District Senior Welfare Housing, and Nammok General Industrial Complex Senior Welfare Housing.


Accordingly, Ulsan City will receive 41.2 billion won in national funding out of the total project cost of 74.1 billion won to proceed with the projects.


First, in the Beomseo Guhwa area, 36 units of youth-specialized housing will be constructed.


Located near the University of Ulsan, this area is a preferred residential zone with excellent transportation and living infrastructure. The tailored housing for young people is expected to contribute to housing stability.


In Onsan Deoksin, 36 units of "job-linked housing" will be built by 2028 to address the housing shortage caused by large-scale projects such as the expansion of the Onsan National Industrial Complex, the Shaheen Project, the expansion of Korea Zinc's secondary battery plant, and the new investment project by LS MnM. These units will allow residents to live close to their workplaces.


Senior welfare housing will also be established at two locations.


In the Seonbawi Public Housing District in Ulju-gun, Ulsan City and Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) will jointly develop 100 units of senior welfare housing along with social welfare facilities. The plan is to enhance access to welfare services by linking these facilities with a medical and health complex town to be built on adjacent land designated for medical welfare facilities.


In the Nammok General Industrial Complex apartment site in Dong-gu, developed by Ulsan Urban Corporation, 114 units of senior welfare housing will be constructed, allowing residents to also access welfare services at nearby social welfare facilities.


Both locations will undergo administrative procedures such as district plan approval, with construction scheduled for completion by 2032.



A city official stated, "The selection in this round of applications has laid the foundation for housing stability and improved welfare for various groups," adding, "We will continue to strengthen the housing welfare system by expanding the supply of public housing focused on the needs of residents."
