The household was in a severely poor environment, with serious concerns about hygiene and safety, as they were unable to manage daily life due to illness and had accumulated enough garbage inside their home to fill ten 1-ton trucks.

In response, the Joyang-dong Administrative Welfare Center linked this case with the "Pleasant Space Sharing" project of the Joyang-dong Community Social Security Council (Private Chairperson: Yoon Imyong) and collaborated with the Sokcho General Social Welfare Center (Director: Jeong Jihyun) to clean up and dispose of garbage and unnecessary items.

On the day of the cleanup, which provided the household with a clean and pleasant living environment, more than 20 people including volunteers from the Sokcho General Social Welfare Center, members of the Joyang-dong Community Social Security Council, and staff from the center participated, demonstrating an exemplary case of public-private cooperation.

The Joyang-dong Administrative Welfare Center plans to use case management project funds to provide bedding and essential daily necessities, and will continue to monitor the household to support the recipient’s healthy life and reintegration into society.

The co-chairperson of the Joyang-dong Community Social Security Council stated, "We hope that this Clean Care activity will provide practical help for the health and safety of the recipient household," adding, "We will continue to actively identify and support households in crisis in cooperation with various local organizations to improve the living environment of vulnerable groups."
