This support was carried out to protect residents of tents and single rooms who are particularly vulnerable to heat waves. In cooperation with the Seoul Municipal Restart Comprehensive Support Center and the Yeongdeungpo Single-Room Shelter Counseling Center, SH supplied fans, mosquito repellents, bottled water, and snacks to residents of the tent community near Yongsan Station and the Yeongdeungpo single-room area.

In Gaepo Guryong Village, SH operated cooling shelters in partnership with Gangnam District Office and distributed three air coolers and 530 portable fans.

For households in Guryong Village that have not yet relocated, SH is actively encouraging relocation by providing temporary public housing with waived security deposits and rent reductions ranging from 60% to 100% for residents in vulnerable housing conditions, as well as providing guidance to eligible residents on the relocation process and support systems.

In addition, SH also supplied cooling sleeves and portable fans to on-site land management service workers and informed them of heat illness prevention guidelines such as ensuring adequate rest and hydration.

Hwang Sangha, President of SH, stated, "We will continue to work with relevant organizations to provide the necessary support to protect the health and safety of residents who are vulnerable to heat waves," adding, "We will also continue to inform residents in need of housing improvements and relocation support about relevant programs and procedures."
