After signing a business agreement with Habitat for Humanity Korea last year, Busan Port Authority conducted on-site inspections. It selected two households in Yeongdo-gu, Busan, and one in Jinhae-gu, Changwon, as eligible for support, and invested a total of 60 million won.

The necessary renovations differed for each home. Wallpaper and flooring were replaced and windows were repaired. Waterproofing was conducted on roofs and rooftops. Bathrooms were upgraded and safety handrails were installed.

In July, Busan Port Authority executives and employees personally visited the first household in Yeongdo-gu. They participated in repair volunteer activities, including replacing wallpaper, painting, and removing old furniture.

During the dedication ceremony, Habitat for Humanity Korea explained the implementation process of the project and the specifics of the home improvement. Busan Port Authority expressed its gratitude to the national veterans and also delivered support items.

President Song Sang Keun said, "We are pleased to be able to help those who have served the country live in a safer and more comfortable environment," adding, "We will continue to listen to the diverse voices of the community and carry on with social contribution activities that residents can truly feel."
