The "Gangwon-type public housing" project is a local government-led initiative in which the province and cities/counties collaborate to build and supply regionally customized public rental housing. The project aims to encourage young people and others to settle in the region and to create a stable residential environment.

The province is currently working to supply a total of 742 units across eight cities and counties: Yeongwol Deokpo (102 units, completed and occupied in September this year), Hongcheon Bukbang (80 units, construction started in March), Taebaek Hwangji (100 units), Jeongseon Nam-myeon (70 units), Gangneung Ipam (80 units), Hwacheon Sineup (90 units), Samcheok Dogye (120 units), and Pyeongchang Hoenggye (100 units).

The 2nd working-level consultative meeting, hosted by the province, was held at the second Gangwon-type public housing site in Hongcheon. Around 30 participants attended, including city and county officials (team leaders and staff), representatives from the Korea Land and Housing Corporation Gangwon Regional Headquarters, Gangwon Development Corporation, and service providers.

During the meeting, participants reviewed the progress of each city and county project by stage (design, construction, completion, etc.) and discussed future schedules. There were also active, field-oriented technical discussions on topics such as specialized spaces for young people, securing construction quality, resolving civil complaints, and facility management and maintenance after move-in.

In particular, the "residential + startup" complex structure of Yeongwol Deokpo, the first Gangwon-type public housing to be completed, and the construction and complaint resolution cases from Hongcheon Bukbang, the second site to begin construction, were shared as exemplary best practices that city and county officials can immediately apply to their own work.

Additionally, the Korea Land and Housing Corporation Gangwon Regional Headquarters shared examples of public housing management office operations and facility maintenance, which helped reduce the future burden of public housing management that cities and counties will undertake directly.

Participants visited the Hongcheon Bukbang site in person to check key issues at each stage of design and construction. They also exchanged opinions on potential problems and solutions expected during the project’s implementation, making this a practical opportunity for substantive consultation to enhance the project’s quality.

Kim Sunha, Director of Architecture at Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, stated, "To improve settlement conditions for those in need of housing, including young people, we will newly select and supply at least two Gangwon-type public housing sites each year." He added, "Through field-oriented working-level consultative bodies, we will further strengthen the collaborative system between the province and cities/counties, enhance the execution of the project, and supply Gangwon-type public housing in a timely manner and with high quality."
