Alleviating Housing Costs for Unmarried, Houseless Youth

The Jeonju City government in North Jeolla Province has increased the scale of its "Youth Manwon Housing" project—which aims to reduce housing costs for young people—to 141 units, as new tenants begin moving into the newly built rental housing in Pyeonghwa-dong.

On July 28, Jeonju City announced that it had started accepting new tenants for 24 units of "Cheongchun Byeolchae," a newly established Youth Manwon Housing facility in Pyeonghwa-dong, Wansan-gu, beginning on July 27.

The new Cheongchun Byeolchae facility in Pyeonghwa-dong consists of 24 newly built youth rental housing units, including three single-occupancy rooms and 21 double-occupancy rooms. Young people who were selected as tenants through a recruitment process in March have now completed contracts and are moving in sequentially.

The newly constructed housing is equipped with essential home appliances—refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and electric cooktops—so tenants can settle in immediately. Additionally, shared laundry facilities and a community space have been set up on the first floor to facilitate resident interaction and the operation of community programs.

Cheongchun Byeolchae is Jeonju's flagship youth residential support project, offering housing to unmarried young people without homes for a deposit of 500,000 won and a monthly rent of 10,000 won. With the addition of the new Pyeonghwa-dong residence, there are now a total of 11 Cheongchun Byeolchae facilities in operation, comprising 141 units.

Jeonju City also plans to supply more units by remodeling a further 22 units from existing purchased leases from which tenants have vacated. The recruitment notice will be posted on the Jeonju City website at the end of August, and applications can be submitted online via the integrated application support system during the period specified in the notice.

Lee Youngsook, Director of Population and Youth Policy for Jeonju City, said, "Solving the housing issue that young people feel the greatest burden from is the foundation for them to stay in the region and live stably," adding, "We will continue to expand the supply of youth rental housing and consistently pursue housing welfare policies tailored to the needs of young people."
