[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City Mayor Lee Jae-jun presented appointment certificates to 66 new members of the '4th Term Community Welfare Councils' at the city hall mid-sized conference room on the 21st.

The 4th Term Community Welfare Councils comprise 832 members, including 132 public members (district chiefs, team leaders, and assigned officials) and 700 private members. The term runs from October 26 to October 25, 2024.

The Community Welfare Councils will engage in activities including △discovering blind spots in welfare and connecting public and local services △discovering local resources to expand support for welfare recipients △promoting specialized local projects at the district level △establishing and operating coordination between city and district councils and community protection systems.

This year, the councils have identified 10,596 cases of people in need and 2,291 cases of welfare resources.

Mayor Lee Jae-jun stated, "This year alone, you have helped more than 10,000 neighbors through your efforts, and you have also sought 'welfare resources' to support them while contemplating sustainable welfare. Together with the Community Welfare Councils, we will build a 'city of compassionate care' where we reach out to those in need before they ask for help," he said.
