This 38th project focused on improving the residential environment for disabled households by remodeling their aged homes.

Deokjin General Construction Co., Ltd. participated in the construction work as a form of talent donation, while Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH) supported the project by providing home appliances.

“Provincial Happiness Housing” is a residential welfare initiative by South Gyeongsang Province, which connects the talent and sponsorship of private companies to improve aged houses for vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities, elderly people living alone, and multicultural families.

This year's project is being implemented with a budget of 42 million won per household. Along with house repairs, support from participating institutions and companies is also being provided.

Hapcheon County explained that, through this project, it has renovated old housing facilities and improved the living environment for the relevant households.

Kim Yoonchul, mayor of Hapcheon County, stated, “I would like to thank Deokjin General Construction, LH Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters, and South Gyeongsang Province for participating in this project to improve the living conditions of vulnerable groups.” He added, “We will continue to support residential welfare in conjunction with the private sector in the future.”

However, it is pointed out that addressing the housing issues of vulnerable groups requires not only one-time repairs for individual households, but also the discovery of eligible recipients, ongoing follow-up management, and stable funding for the project.
