The Council's main projects include fundraising for discovering private resources and regional specialized projects.

In particular, over the past year, the 18 neighborhood councils have promoted 58 customized specialized projects tailored to each neighborhood's environment and the welfare needs of vulnerable groups. Notably, the Sinwol 7-dong Community Social Security Council formed a privately led hotline division, directly discovering and providing one-stop support for crisis households, which was evaluated as a model case of customized support. The Mok 3-dong Community Social Security Council matched low-income elderly households with sharing stores, supporting side dishes and donated items, creating a care linkage to prevent solitary deaths, which received great response.
