Full Coverage of Construction Costs Provided

Uljugun in Ulsan is recruiting additional participants for the "2025 Vacant House Maintenance Support Project."

On August 21, Uljugun announced, "We are expanding the project to create a safe and pleasant residential environment by maintaining vacant houses that pose high risks of safety accidents such as crime, collapse, and fire."

As a result of efficiently managing the budget during the first phase of the project this year, the county has decided to select and implement additional sites.

Applications can be submitted at each township or town administrative welfare center until September 9. After on-site inspections and a review by the architectural committee in October, the final sites will be determined. Following this, detailed design and asbestos inspections will be completed, with maintenance scheduled for completion next year.

Eligible applicants include: △ vacant houses owned by recipients or near-poor households under the National Basic Living Security Act; △ vacant houses for which owners have agreed to public land use for at least three years after demolition; and △ vacant houses with high risks of safety accidents such as crime, fire, or collapse.

Applicants must submit the required documents, including the application form for the vacant house maintenance support project and the agreement for public land use. Owners of the vacant house and the associated land must agree to utilize the site as public land for at least three years after demolition.

Notably, starting this year, 100% of the total construction cost will be covered without any self-payment. However, for the simple demolition of grade 3 vacant houses requiring demolition or safety measures, 10% of the construction cost must be paid by the owner.

An official from Uljugun stated, "We will continue to promote the maintenance support project every year to prevent various safety accidents and crimes that may occur in vacant houses and to improve the appearance of villages."

Since 2017, Uljugun has carried out the vacant house maintenance support project, maintaining 32 sites to date and utilizing them as village parking lots and for other community purposes.
