Last year, LH actively supported residents and small business owners by reducing rents for rental housing and commercial spaces. Additionally, it newly promoted projects such as the renovation of jjokbangchon (small room villages) and rural regeneration, while also striving to realize social value by establishing an integrated care model combining housing welfare and social services.
Along with this, LH was recognized for creating a total of approximately 12,000 jobs through the establishment of the "2020 LH Good Job Plan" and received the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Award at the "2021 Korea Job Awards" on the 25th.
