Kwonseon-gu 30 Households Receive Emergency Support in Q3/Q4

Kwonseon-gu (District Chief Kim Jeong-soo) continues to implement emergency welfare support projects to resolve crises for low-income residents in welfare blind spots who face difficulties in maintaining their livelihoods due to sudden accidents or illnesses.

The emergency welfare support system provides support such as living expenses and medical costs through on-site verification for those facing crisis situations due to difficulty in maintaining livelihoods, severe illness or injury, neglect or abandonment by family members, abuse, and domestic violence. When the need for support is recognized, the system proceeds swiftly according to the principle of providing support first and conducting investigation later, enabling recipients to overcome their crises. In Q3/Q4 of 2013, 30 households received emergency support including living and medical expenses, allowing them to escape crisis situations.

A district official stated, "We are conducting multifaceted promotion by sending promotional notices about the emergency support project to organizations in each dong, workers at medical institutions under the Medical Act, employees of social welfare facilities, and welfare committee members," and added, "We will make our best efforts to enable residents to overcome crisis situations early and return to their previous way of life through active identification of eligible recipients and prompt support."
