The district held the mid-term report meeting on the 24th in the Changui Hall at the Guro District Office, with members of the Community Social Security Representative Council serving as the planning task force (TF), members of the working group for plan development, and team leaders from relevant departments in attendance. Korea Industrial Information Research Institute, the organization conducting the research, reported on the findings of the resident needs survey, collected expert opinions, and presented the current progress of the project.

The Community Social Security Plan is a statutory plan that local governments are required to establish every four years in accordance with Article 35 of the Social Security Benefits Act. It outlines the direction and strategies for social security policy to be implemented over a four-year period.

The resident needs survey was conducted with 433 households from 16 neighborhoods in Guro District. It investigated the actual conditions and policy demands in areas such as care, health, employment, and housing within the social security sector. According to the district, the interim analysis revealed a high demand for support to reduce the time and cost burdens of parenting and care in the care field, and a relatively high demand for information on jobs and employment/entrepreneurship in the employment field.

The district plans to reflect the opinions collected during the meeting to establish the vision, goals, and strategies for the 6th plan in August. After gathering additional resident feedback, holding a final report meeting, undergoing deliberation by the Community Social Security Council, and reporting to the District Council, Guro District intends to submit the final plan to the Seoul Metropolitan Government in November.

Mayor Jang Inhong stated, "The Community Social Security Plan is an important plan that will determine the direction of Guro District's welfare policies for the next four years." He added, "By faithfully reflecting the voices of residents and people in the field, we will create customized policies suited to local needs that residents can truly feel."
