[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Yongin City has prepared a total of 30 million won in "Daily Recovery Special Support Funds" for 1,500 vulnerable households that do not receive government assistance.

According to Yongin City on the 12th, to alleviate the financial burden on vulnerable households experiencing difficulties in maintaining their livelihoods due to recent sharp rises in prices, the city will use a portion of community donation funds collected last year as daily recovery special support funds.

The city plans to receive recommendations for eligible recipients from each eup, myeon, and dong by the 15th, and will provide 200,000 won per household through the Gyeonggi Community Chest on the 27th to the recipients' accounts.

A city official stated, "We have prepared these support funds to provide at least some help in overcoming the economic difficulties of vulnerable groups that do not receive government benefits."

Meanwhile, the temporary emergency living assistance funds provided by the government to national basic livelihood guarantee recipients and households in the second income bracket will be distributed in Yongin local currency at eup, myeon, and dong administrative welfare centers by the 1st of next month.
