Suwon City is launching efforts to build a 'warm welfare city' by implementing comprehensive welfare measures for residents in welfare blind spots and strengthening welfare services for the elderly.
Over the past two years, the city has provided 24.1 billion won in support for basic livelihood recipients and has discovered and supported 1,408 newly eligible recipients from 917 households. Additionally, the city has invested a total of 5.9 billion won in self-sufficiency projects for low-income families, including self-reliance programs for those just above the poverty line and residential environment improvements.
For persons with disabilities welfare initiatives, the city began operating 'House of Happiness,' a shared workshop for providing job opportunities for disabled individuals, in June.
The city is expanding dedicated welfare centers for seniors by establishing the Municipal Home-based Elderly Support Center (completed in May 2009), SK Cheongsol Senior Welfare Center (2010), and Paldal Area Senior Welfare Center (2011).
Additionally, the city is supporting childcare for working-class families by newly constructing one childcare facility (Topgoeul) and expanding two others, establishing a childcare information center, thereby supporting women's social participation and providing assistance in the childcare sector.
