Suwon City Opens Promotional Center for 'Saebbit House'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] A promotional center has opened where visitors can experience 'Saebbit House,' Suwon's low-rise residential housing repair support project.

Suwon Special City opened the Saebbit House promotional center on the 17th by remodeling an existing building at 234-2 Buksoo-dong, Paldal-gu, creating a 101.85㎡ space.

The promotional center features a before-and-after home renovation comparison section, a building materials experience zone, and a home repair consultation room.

Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun, who attended the opening ceremony, stated, "The Saebbit House promotional center is a space where residents can visually confirm how their homes will change, receive consultations, and dream of creating a safe home. From home repair support projects to the 'Urban Regeneration 2.0 Project,' we will implement policies that transform aging urban areas and make citizens' lives safer and more prosperous."

'Saebbit House' provides financial support for home repairs on deteriorated low-rise houses within designated repair support zones. Eligible properties are single-family, multi-family, or row houses of four stories or fewer that have been in use for 20 years or more from their occupancy approval date. Support covers up to 12 million won (with 10% private contribution).

Last year, 305 households were supported. Recently, 699 additional households were selected as Saebbit House support beneficiaries, bringing confirmed support to 1,004 households to date. The project aims to support 2,000 households by 2026.
