Gangnam-gu provides housing to young people preparing for independence. Gangnam-gu, a city where dreams come together and envisions the future (District Mayor Cho Seong-myeong), is the first in the country to pilot a Gangnam-type self-reliance-ready house where young people preparing for self-reliance can live for more than a year.
Youth preparing for self-reliance refer to young people who were protected in child welfare facilities or foster homes due to lack of guardians or difficulties for guardians to raise them, but whose protection ended after the age of 19. 1) To support their independence, the LH and SH rental housing project is being implemented at the government and Seoul city level. Although this is being implemented, there have been cases where it has been difficult to find suitable housing while waiting due to high demand. The district is launching the self-reliant housing project for the first time at the local government level to quickly provide housing to these young people.
Gangnam-type independent housing is differentiated in that it is an actual living space, unlike experiential residential spaces in other autonomous districts where young people can experience independence for a certain period of time. You can stay for one year, and if there is no waiting period, you can extend it for an additional year, up to two years. In addition, since both the deposit and rent are supported by the district, when settling down in Gangnam-gu, where the cost of living is high, the burden of housing costs can be reduced and funds for self-reliance can be saved. While living here, the district office staff understands the young person’s living situation and continuously helps them become independent.
Last March, the district signed a lease agreement with the Seoul regional headquarters of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation and secured one house for pilot operation. Applicants wishing to move into self-reliant housing were accepted, and the final residents were selected through a fair review by the selection committee. The district, which confirmed young people’s high will to become independent during the screening process, plans to secure additional housing in the future. In addition, we plan to provide small furniture and home appliances so that residents can live comfortably.
Gangnam-gu Mayor Cho Seong-myeong said, “We have been pursuing preemptive support policies such as moving-in item costs and employment success congratulations since last year for young people preparing for independence, and this time, we want to solve the most urgent housing problem for young people by providing housing.” “We will provide careful support with the heart of a parent so that they can successfully take their first steps into society and become independent,” he said.
