Under the jeonse rental housing program, eligible applicants can directly search for a home they wish to live in within the support limit. GH then signs a jeonse contract with the property owner and subleases the property to the selected tenant.

This recruitment will select a total of 150 households and provide homes with an exclusive area of 85 square meters or less. To be eligible, applicants must be members of a homeless household registered as residents of Uijeongbu City as of December 22, 2025, the date of the recruitment announcement.

Priority 2 includes: ▲ households whose average monthly income in the previous year was 50% or less of the average for urban workers, or persons with disabilities whose household income was 100% or less ▲ national merit recipients recommended by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs.
