Eligible applicants are newlywed couples who have been married for seven years or less and reside in Guro-gu as of the application date, and do not own a home. The combined annual income of the couple must not exceed 130 million won. In addition, they must be living in a house, apartment, or residential officetel with an exclusive area of 85 square meters or less, located in Guro-gu, and be repaying the principal and interest on a valid jeonse loan.


However, those who are beneficiaries of Seoul City's Jeonse Deposit Loan Interest Support Program for Newlywed Couples, users of housing city fund jeonse loans (such as the Bogeumjari program), or recipients of basic livelihood security benefits are excluded from eligibility.


The support amount is up to 1 million won per year, within 1.5% of the outstanding principal of the jeonse loan. Applicants who continue to meet the eligibility requirements may reapply and receive support for up to two years.
