Additionally, it classifies target groups into persons with disabilities (Dongjak Happiness Card, disability-friendly beauty salons, etc.), national veterans (veteran honor allowances, funeral supplies support for veterans, etc.), and low-income groups (Dongjak Companion Network, Dongjak Food Bank Market, etc.), providing information on a total of 76 projects.
The guidebook details the eligibility criteria and application methods for these projects, allowing users to grasp the information at a glance. Furthermore, through the comprehensive guidebook, the district actively promotes representative Dongjak-gu projects such as the ‘Filial Piety Series’ (call center, call taxi, laundry, injections, oriental medicine) to help residents receive the welfare services they need in a timely manner.
‘Dongjak Almyun Bokji’ can be easily downloaded from the district office and local welfare facility websites, and accessed via QR codes available at all departments, community service centers, and welfare facilities.
