Pocheon City Conducts Comprehensive Survey of Vulnerable Residents in Goshiwon Facilities

Pocheon City in Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Kim Jong-cheon) will conduct a comprehensive survey of residents living in goshiwon facilities, a vulnerable housing population, through the 22nd of next month.

To this end, centered on the customized welfare teams of eup, myeon, and dong offices, the city plans to conduct door-to-door visits to all 22 goshiwon facilities located within the city in collaboration between the public and private sectors, including case management experts from the Infinite Care Centers, members of community welfare coordination councils, ri and tong representatives, and local residents. The city will promote its programs and conduct outreach counseling activities.

The survey will focus on households in crisis situations, including goshiwon residents who have fallen behind on payments, those who have recently lost employment, those who have suffered serious illness or injury, and elderly residents. Based on income and assets, the city plans to provide support including emergency welfare assistance and Infinite Care projects to cover living expenses and medical costs, as well as sponsor goods from community fundraising organizations and private foundations.

In addition, the city operates three Infinite Care Centers by region and is working actively to identify vulnerable neighbors in blind spots of welfare services through coordination and cooperation between public and private sectors, while endeavoring to provide practical services that meet the needs of beneficiaries.
