[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Wook] Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, won the grand prize in the 2022 Emergency Welfare Support Best Case Contest hosted by the Korea Human Resources Development Institute for Health and Welfare.

Emergency welfare support is a system that provides livelihood, medical, and housing assistance to low-income households who are struggling to maintain their livelihood due to the death, serious illness, or injury of the main income earner, helping them overcome crisis situations.

The winning case was selected for actively providing administrative support through emergency welfare despite business closures, auctions, and bankruptcy filings caused by the aftermath of COVID-19, allowing the individual to hold on to hope and stand up again.

The grand prize-winning work, "The Golden Time of 3 Months of Emergency Welfare, Inviting Her Out into the World," will be included in the best case collection.

A county official said, "This achievement was possible thanks to the efforts of employees who actively promoted visiting health and welfare services centered on residents and the field. We will continue to do our best to discover households in crisis through welfare that leaves no one behind."
