Suwon Extends Stay Period for Young Adults at 'Share House CON'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Suwon Special City has extended the residency period at 'Share House CON for Young Adults Preparing for Self-Reliance,' allowing residents from the first and second groups who wish to extend their stay to continue preparing for self-reliance at 'Share House CON.'

On the 25th, the city held the '2024 Housing Welfare Advisory Committee' at the Saebit Youth Zone Community Hall and deliberated and voted on 'Extending the Residency Period for Share House CON for Young Adults Preparing for Self-Reliance.'

The city's youth housing welfare policy, Share House CON for Young Adults Preparing for Self-Reliance, provides young adults aged 29 and under who fall through the cracks of government housing support with a shared residential space where they can live stably for two years without paying rent, and supports their self-reliance activities.

The committee determined that two years is a short period for young adults to prepare for stable self-reliance and decided to extend the residency period by re-evaluating each young adult's self-reliance status every two years.

In today's meeting, the committee sought advice on matters including recruitment for 'Multi-child Suwon Human Housing,' recruitment for 'Transit-oriented Saebit Youth Zone,' and tenant recruitment for the 'Family Care Community Housing Hug & Hub Operation Project.' Prior to the meeting, the city awarded appointment certificates to two newly appointed committee members of the second term.

Meanwhile, the Suwon Housing Welfare Advisory Committee, established in April 2021, serves the role of deliberating and consulting on matters including △establishment, modification, and evaluation of comprehensive housing welfare plans △matters mandated for committee deliberation under other laws and ordinances △important projects related to Suwon's housing welfare policies. The second-term Suwon Housing Welfare Advisory Committee is composed of 11 members, including two ex officio members (chair and vice chair) and nine appointed members.

A city official stated, "The Suwon Housing Welfare Advisory Committee will play a significant role in protecting and promoting citizens' housing welfare rights and improving housing standards," and added, "We will expand its role as a deliberative and advisory body that develops Suwon-style housing welfare policies and explores directions for the development of housing welfare projects."
