Namdong-gu Promotes 'Village Housing Management Office Home Repair Support' for Vulnerable Groups

Incheon City Namdong-gu (Mayor Park Jong-hyo) announced on the 30th that it will promote the '2026 Namdong-gu Village Housing Management Office Home Repair Support Project' to improve the living environment of old houses in low-rise residential areas.

This project is designed to support vulnerable groups who are experiencing difficulties in home repairs due to economic burdens while living in old houses. It provides housing improvement services closely related to daily life, including wallpaper and flooring replacement, as well as sink, boiler, and water supply and drainage facilities.

The application period is from January 19 to February 13, 2026, and applications can be submitted at the administrative welfare center in the jurisdiction of the residence.

Eligible recipients include seniors aged 65 and older, single elderly individuals, persons with disabilities, national merit recipients and compensation beneficiaries, victims of the May 18 Democratic Movement, individuals with symptoms of Agent Orange exposure, single-parent families, housing benefit recipients, and those in the lower middle-income and near-lower middle-income brackets. However, those eligible excluding the near-lower middle-income group can only receive support if their household income is at or below 70% of the median income.

Selected households can receive up to 5 million won per household, and home repair work will be carried out through professional construction companies, prioritizing households with urgent needs for improved living conditions.

A Namdong-gu official stated, "We hope to strengthen resident-centered housing welfare services through home repair support and expand interest and participation in the Village Housing Management Office project."
