Suwon City Receives Computer Donations for Multi-Child Families in Suwon Human Housing

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City announced on the 23rd that it has received donations of 12 desktop computers for families moving into the "Multi-Child Suwon Human Housing."

The computers were donated by Roh Jae-hwan, CEO of Tomato Computer, a computer assembly and repair company operating in Suwon.

CEO Roh visited Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young's office on this day and pledged to donate 12 desktop computers (valued at 10 million won).

The city plans to identify multi-child Suwon Human Housing resident families in need of computers and distribute them sequentially in the first half of the year.

CEO Roh, who serves as a member of the Seryu 3-dong Community Social Security Council, also donated one computer to a Suwon Human Housing resident family (with 7 children) in December of last year.

CEO Roh is continuously engaged in sharing activities not only for multi-child Suwon Human Housing resident families but also for vulnerable groups in the community. Last year, he donated 25 computers to community children's centers in Seryu 2 and 3-dong, and plans to donate an additional 10 or so units this year.

CEO Roh stated, "I heard that due to COVID-19, schools are conducting non-face-to-face classes, and there are children having difficulties without computers, so I decided to make this donation. I hope that the computers donated this time will help children in multi-child families with their studies." He added, "I will continue to make donations as my circumstances allow until COVID-19 is brought to an end."

Suwon City's housing welfare policy, "Multi-Child Suwon Human Housing," is a rental housing provided free of charge to homeless multi-child families facing difficulties in acquiring homes.

Starting with a 6-child family in November 2018, 26 families have so far moved into Multi-Child Suwon Human Housing. Residents can stay for up to 20 years and only need to pay management fees, thus reducing housing cost burdens.

The city signed a "Business Cooperation Agreement for Support of Multi-Child Household Suwon Human Housing" with LH in July of last year. LH supplies some of its lease purchase housing as "Multi-Child Household Suwon Human Housing," and Suwon City provides lease deposits and rental fees. The city plans to supply 30-35 units annually through 2025.
