As part of the '2025 Hometown Love Fund Project,' the city will implement a 'Family Photo Support Project for Families with Multiple Children' to capture precious moments for these families and promote a family-friendly culture.

Through the second supplementary budget for 2025, the city revised its Hometown Love Fund operation plan and allocated a budget for this project. This marks the first case of Yangju City utilizing the Hometown Love Fund, and is expected to become a meaningful starting point where local donations directly contribute to improving the quality of life for citizens.

The project targets 60 families with multiple children residing in Yangju City whose income is at or below 50% of the median income (the second-lowest income bracket). These families will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis and will receive complimentary family photo sessions at local photography studios.

Families wishing to participate can apply at their local administrative welfare center in their town or district from November 14 to November 17.

The city also plans to expand participation among local photography studios to promote a virtuous cycle of regional economic revitalization and mutual growth. Studios interested in participating can visit the General Affairs and Community Cooperation Team on the second floor of Yangju City Hall on November 17 to submit their application and proposal.

A Yangju City official stated, "This project is the first case where the Hometown Love Donation brings about tangible change in the lives of citizens. It is a meaningful start that offers happy memories to families with multiple children and energizes the local economy. We will continue to promote various Hometown Love Fund projects that citizens can truly experience."
