Anyang City Completes 'Quick-Fix Home Repair Support Project'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Um In-yong] Anyang City and the Korean Association of Housing Builders completed the 'Quick-Fix Home Repair Support Project' on the 6th and visited a household in Bisan-dong, Dongan-gu, Anyang City for inspection purposes.

The visit was attended by Cho Eun-ho, head of the City's Urban Housing Department, Ji Jae-ki, chairman of the Korean Association of Housing Builders Gyeonggi Province Chapter, Jeon Sang-pyo, chairman of the Baekwoo Hyunjin Welfare Foundation, Jung Moon-suk, CEO of KBS, and regional committee chairs Yoo Jung-seok, Park Woong, Kim Hyun-joo, Park Se-hun, and officials from member companies.

For the 'Quick-Fix Home Repair Project,' the city signed a business agreement in April 2023 with the Korean Association of Housing Builders Gyeonggi Province Chapter (hereinafter referred to as the Association) regarding support for housing-vulnerable populations and development of the housing industry. After supporting home repairs for 5 households in 2023, the project was expanded to 22 households last year, completing repairs from November 15-29 last year.

The city identified and recommended housing-vulnerable households in need of repairs, including low-income elderly and people with disabilities. The Association visited each household, inspected areas requiring repairs, and completed home repairs including wallpapering, flooring replacement, sink replacement, and safety bar installation.

This home repair project was carried out with funds designated by the Baekwoo Hyunjin Welfare Foundation and member companies of the Association.

Anyang Mayor Choi Dae-ho said, "I express gratitude to the Korean Association of Housing Builders Gyeonggi Province Chapter for providing warm and pleasant homes to neighbors in need," and added, "We will continue to make greater efforts in housing welfare for vulnerable populations through public-private cooperation projects."
