Uijeongbu Singok Administrative Welfare Center Holds Working-Level Meeting on 'Welfare Hub' Initiative

The Singok Administrative Welfare Center (Director: Lim Moon-hwan) in Uijeongbu, which serves three districts—Jangam-dong, Singok 1-dong, and Singok 2-dong—as its administrative zone, was launched in April 2017 and currently handles 190 types of resident-centered administrative services including welfare, sanitation, employment, safety management, and permits and licenses.

On May 10, the Singok Administrative Welfare Center held a working-level meeting on its strategy to promote the welfare hub initiative, aimed at implementing service-oriented administration that reaches out to residents in need and successfully establishing a regional welfare hub system.

The four welfare-related department and team heads and six specialized welfare practitioners in attendance set strategic goals including in-depth identification of local welfare resources and resident outreach, detailed surveys of welfare-eligible residents in the district, and provision of customized welfare services to residents in blind spots. They then discussed concrete implementation plans for these objectives.

The Welfare Support Division, responsible for resident welfare in the Singok area, plans to rapidly identify crisis households in blind spots through residents, community leaders, and self-help organizations based on the results of this working-level meeting. Additionally, it will establish cooperative agreements with related agencies such as post offices, police departments, and welfare centers, and will continue to provide customized welfare services to help vulnerable populations achieve self-reliance.
