This counseling center is part of the "Support Measures for Jeonse Scam Victims and Housing Stability" announced by the government in April last year, providing legal, psychological, financial, and housing support counseling for victims of Jeonse scams. It has been operated by expanding the regions from Michuhol-gu, Incheon, where the damage was concentrated, to Gangseo-gu, Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, Suwon-si, and others.

Victimized tenants in Ansan-si can receive counseling at the 2nd-floor main conference room of Danwon-gu Office (from the 19th to the 23rd) and the 5th-floor multipurpose room of Sangnok-gu Office (from the 26th to the 29th).

Legal, psychological, financial, and housing support counseling services are provided from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM. For those who have difficulty moving or feel burdened to go out, home visit services are available through phone reservations.
