Gwangju Nam-gu to Operate Four Top-Quality Filial Piety Safe Care Houses Next Year

Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City will operate four 'Eutteum Hyo Nam-gu Safe Care Houses' starting next year for residents in housing crises who have lost their homes due to emergencies such as fires and floods, as well as those in need of care.

On the 22nd, Nam-gu announced, "To stabilize the housing situation of low-income residents facing housing crises due to disasters, we have prepared four Eutteum Hyo Nam-gu Safe Care Houses where they can stay temporarily for a short period in temporary housing facilities, and full operation will begin next year."

The Eutteum Hyo Nam-gu Safe Care Houses provide spaces for residents who need temporary housing due to incidents such as fires and floods.

Nam-gu secured residential spaces in four locations within the district by leasing houses owned by the Korea Housing Corporation to provide stable living for residents in housing crises.

The Eutteum Hyo Nam-gu Safe Care Houses have an area of approximately 24 to 25 pyeong and are located in two places in Wolsan-dong, one in Baegun-dong, and one in Bangnim-dong.

Eligibility to use the Safe Care Houses includes residents registered in the district who are facing crises such as loss of housing space.

Additionally, those linked to integrated care services, medical aid recipients hospitalized for more than 30 days, or residents with a history of hospitalization exceeding 30 days within the past year who urgently require temporary housing support can also use the facilities.

The usage period for the Safe Care Houses is from 7 days up to a maximum of 3 months, and in case of emergencies or unavoidable situations during use, the period can be extended up to 3 months upon consultation.

A Nam-gu official stated, "We have prepared the Eutteum Hyo Nam-gu Safe Care Houses to protect the lives of residents in crisis due to disasters and to ensure the successful establishment of the integrated care policy project," adding, "We will do our best to operate the Safe Care Houses so that residents in housing crises can return to society stably."
