Sancheong County Eases Youth Housing Burden ... Launches Monthly Rent Support Program

Up to 200,000 Won Per Month for 12 Months
Support for Unmarried Youth Aged 19 to 49 Without a Home

Sancheong County in South Gyeongsang Province is implementing the "Youth Monthly Rent Support Program" to alleviate the housing cost burden for young people.

The county will provide monthly rent support of up to 200,000 won per person and up to 2.4 million won annually for eligible youth.

Eligible applicants are unmarried youth householders aged between 19 and 49 who are registered residents of Sancheong County and live separately from their parents. Additional requirements include a personal income between 60% and 150% of the median income, residence in a house with a deposit of 100 million won or less, and monthly rent of 600,000 won or less.

However, applicants cannot receive this support if they are already benefiting from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Youth Monthly Rent Temporary Special Support Program. Homeowners (including household members), those renting a parent's or direct ascendant's home, recipients of basic livelihood security, or those participating in other housing support programs by the government or local governments are also ineligible.

Applications are open until March 20, 2026. Youth wishing to apply may do so online through the Gyeongnam Baro Service website, or by visiting the local eup or myeon office that has jurisdiction over their address.

An official from Sancheong County stated, "Ensuring stable housing for young people is an investment in the future of the local community. We hope this monthly rent support program will provide tangible help to youth, and we will continue to provide support so that the younger generation can pursue their dreams."
