LH Housing Welfare Information is expanding its tailored public housing information services for youth preparing for independence in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, following its initiatives in Incheon.

On July 1, LH Housing Welfare Information announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding with LH Incheon Regional Headquarters and the Gyeonggi Province Independence Support Agency to provide essential public housing information for youth preparing for independence.

Under this agreement, LH Housing Welfare Information will participate in the housing support program specifically designed for youth preparing for independence, a specialized initiative of LH Incheon Regional Headquarters. The program will offer comprehensive information on public housing, including the latest policies, personalized consultations using the LH U-Start platform, and support for housing-related living needs.

This agreement is particularly significant as it extends the previously limited housing support services for youth preparing for independence from Incheon to the Bucheon area.

In addition to supporting the youth themselves, LH Housing Welfare Information will provide practical housing education for staff members of related organizations. Plans also include connecting youth with non-face-to-face housing consultations regarding future public housing use through the LH U-Start platform.

Youth preparing for independence often face housing insecurity after leaving protective care, making it crucial to have a support system that easily guides them through public rental and housing benefit programs during their initial stages of independence.

LH Housing Welfare Information aims to enhance business synergy by leveraging the functional connections between its parent and subsidiary companies. Utilizing its accumulated experience in counseling youth preparing for independence, the organization plans to support the stable social integration of young people referred through the Gyeonggi Province Independence Support Agency.

Hong Seong-pil, CEO of LH Housing Welfare Information, stated, "This collaboration will strengthen the organic functional connections between our parent and subsidiary companies, creating a valuable opportunity to generate social value. We will expand the functionality and accessibility of U-Start consultations to assist youth preparing for independence in taking their first steps."

He added, "Using this expansion into Bucheon as a stepping stone, we will continue to broaden our service reach to benefit more regions in the future."
