Yongin City Offers "Home Repair" Gift to Dream Start Target Families

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Yongin Special City announced on the 6th that it provided home repair support together with the Yongin Lions Club (Chairman Han Jae-hyun) on the 4th to enable Dream Start families living in poor conditions to reside in a pleasant environment.

The target family for this home repair is a single-parent family with a 45-month-old child, and three generations are currently residing together with the grandmother.

The interior of the home was in poor condition for a young child to live in due to mold, outdated sinks, and accumulated items. Moreover, all family members suffer from illness and face economic difficulties, making improvement a challenging situation.

In response, the city worked together with the Yongin Lions Club to provide new wallpaper and flooring for the families to live in a pleasant home, and also replaced bathroom tiles and sinks.

The Yongin Lions Club supported the home repair costs and provided accommodation for the single-parent family during the four-day construction period, while also committing to continue providing support in other areas where assistance is needed.

Meanwhile, the city operates the Integrated Services for Vulnerable Children (Dream Start) project, providing customized integrated services to children aged 12 and under and their families in areas requiring support such as cognitive development, language, physical health, emotional well-being, and behavior.

A city official stated, "We undertook home repair support to improve the living environment of the target family who were residing in poor conditions," and expressed gratitude, saying, "We are grateful to the Yongin Lions Club for improving the living environment of the target family in such a pleasant manner."
