Uiwang City Offers Moving Expense Support for Young People Without Housing

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Chung-young] Uiwang City has decided to provide moving expenses of up to 400,000 won to young people without housing to reduce their residential costs, and will begin accepting applications starting February 1st.

The eligible beneficiaries are "young household heads aged 19-39 without housing and with household income at or below 150% of the median income standard" who either moved into Uiwang City after November 20, 2023, or relocated within the city. Support will be provided for actual costs up to a maximum of 400,000 won, and applicants may receive the benefit only once in their lifetime.

The support criteria require a monthly rent of 40,000 won or less with a deposit of 50 million won or less. However, considering cases where applicants bear higher monthly rent to reduce the deposit, those whose combined monthly rent equivalent converted from deposit and actual monthly rent totals 610,000 won or less are also eligible for support.

The application period runs from February 1st through December 20th. Applicants should register as members on Gyeonggi Province's job platform "Job-Aba" and submit applications online.

Mayor Kim Sung-je of Uiwang City stated, "The young people's moving expense support program is expected to greatly help reduce housing costs for young people facing difficulties due to economic slowdown and deteriorating employment conditions," and added, "Going forward, we will continue to provide various support so that young people can grow as leaders of Uiwang City."
