Information about the Housing Support Benefits

As a support measure for individuals who are facing difficulties in paying rent for their current residence due to a decrease in income resulting from job loss, business closure, or similar circumstances, the local government provides assistance by directly paying the landlord up to three months' worth of rent (up to a maximum of nine months).

Process of loan application

You may be eligible to receive benefits in the following cases:

① If there is a possibility of losing your current residence due to a decrease in income resulting from job loss or business closure within the past two years,


or if your opportunities to earn income have decreased to a similar extent without personal responsibility or circumstances.


② If the total household income in the most recent month does not exceed the standards set by the municipality for the total rent amount.


③ If the total savings of the current household do not exceed the amount specified by the municipality.


④ If you apply for job-searching through Employment Service Agency or similar job placement services and engage in job-searching activities. (※)


※ However, for self-employed individuals, instead of applying for employment through Employment Service Agency or similar services, there may be opportunities to engage in activities for business revitalization.
