Gyeonggi Province and Gyeonggi Housing & Urban Development Corporation (GH) will begin accepting applications at any time for the 'Existing Housing Lease Support' program for low-income residents in the province starting August 4.


The Existing Housing Lease Support program allows selected beneficiaries to find a home of their choosing, after which GH signs a full-lease contract with the property owner and sublets it to the applicant. GH covers up to 95% of the lease deposit, with a ceiling of 130 million won. Beneficiaries pay an affordable rent equivalent to an annual rate of 1.2–2.2% on the supported amount and may reside stably for up to 30 years.


Eligibility is limited to members of homeless households residing in Gyeonggi Province, specifically: ▲ recipients of livelihood or medical benefits ▲ single-parent families under protection ▲ individuals aged 65 or older who are benefit recipients or belong to the next-lowest income bracket.

Applicants must visit their local administrative welfare center to apply. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until a 'Closure of Application Submission' is announced. For further details, please contact the dedicated GH lease support call center (1588-8056) or visit the Gyeonggi Housing & Urban Development Corporation website (https://gh.or.kr).


Gyeonggi Province anticipates that with this ongoing application process, low-income households who have either missed the regular application period or urgently require housing support will be able to apply for the lease support program when needed.



Kim Tae-su, head of Gyeonggi Province’s Housing Policy Division, said, "We will work together with local city and county governments, and GH, to strengthen our efforts to identify and guide eligible residents so that Gyeonggi citizens in need of housing support can live stably in their preferred areas."
