The corporation was highly praised for being the first local public corporation to assign on-site housing welfare workers to the Dadae 4 District permanent rental apartments and for providing housing welfare services closely tailored to the needs of residents.

Additionally, the establishment of an industry-academia research cooperation system with Pusan National University to develop customized housing welfare services, as well as efforts to strengthen performance sharing and cooperation with local community welfare centers within permanent rental housing, were cited as key reasons for the award.

In particular, the corporation was recognized for its on-site support focused on care through the deployment of housing welfare workers and for utilizing the results of the “Housing Welfare Service Index” to derive and implement practical, customized welfare project ideas.

Shin Changho, President of Busan Urban Corporation, stated, “This award is the result of the dedication of our employees, partner organizations, and the interest and participation of residents, all working to improve housing welfare. Moving forward, we will continue to contribute to enhancing the quality of life for citizens by expanding the supply of public rental housing and strengthening practical housing welfare services.”

This year’s ceremony was held on the 20th at the National Assembly Library Grand Auditorium, and Busan Urban Corporation continued its achievement of being selected as an outstanding housing welfare institution for seven consecutive years.
