This program targets young people aged 19 to 34 who do not own a home and live separately from their parents. If income requirements are met, eligible applicants can receive up to 200,000 won per month in rent support for a maximum of 24 months.


To qualify, the young person's income must be at or below 60% of the median income, and the income of their original household (including parents) must be at or below 100% of the median income.


The support amount will be provided up to 200,000 won within the actual rent paid. Security deposits and maintenance fees are excluded from the support. Each individual is eligible to receive this support only once in their lifetime.


Applications can be submitted both online and offline. For online applications, individuals can apply through the Welfare Portal website. For offline applications, individuals must visit the administrative welfare center corresponding to their registered address.


However, the following cases are excluded from eligibility: ▲ homeowners ▲ those renting a house owned by parents, siblings, or other relatives within the second degree of kinship ▲ residents of public rental housing ▲ sublease contracts where multiple people live in one room ▲ those currently receiving benefits from existing monthly rent support programs. In addition, those who have already received all 24 payments through the previous Youth Monthly Rent Temporary Special Support Program are also ineligible.


When applying, relevant supporting documents such as the lease contract, monthly rent transfer records, income and asset declaration, family relation certificate, and a copy of the bankbook must be submitted.



An official from Anseong City stated, "We hope that the Youth Monthly Rent Support Program will help young people facing financial difficulties to maintain stable housing," adding, "We encourage eligible young people to show interest and apply."
