HDC Hyundai Development Company announced on the 29th that it has selected a vulnerable family in Yeongdeungpo-gu as the eighth target of its housing environment improvement project in Seoul and has improved their dilapidated house.
The dedication ceremony held at the eighth dwelling of the housing environment improvement project in Seoul on the previous day, the 28th, was attended by Choi Ho-jeong, chairperson of the Seoul Metropolitan Council, Kim Jae-jin, a member of the Seoul City Council, Lee Kwang-hwa, secretary general of Habitat for Humanity Korea, and Shin Wang-seop, Deputy Minister of HDC Hyundai Development Company.
The family supported in this housing improvement is a grandparent-grandchild household living with a minor grandchild, and the floor and walls were damaged due to mold and moisture. HDC Hyundai Development Company carried out remodeling work, including floor leveling, replacing wallpaper and flooring, waterproofing the exterior walls, installing storage furniture, and conducting waterproofing work to improve the living environment.
The elderly person from the family that received the renovated home expressed gratitude, saying, "Every time I saw the children sleeping in a room with mold, it broke my heart, and I am truly grateful that you fixed it up like a new house," HDC Hyundai Development Company reported.
A representative of HDC Hyundai Development Company stated, "The housing environment improvement project in collaboration with the Seoul Metropolitan Council has achieved the milestone of the eighth household following the first household in Gangnam last year," and added, "We will continue our community service activities that bring substantial changes to neighbors in need."
HDC Hyundai Development Company has been steadily continuing its housing environment improvement and sponsorship support project for vulnerable families in Seoul since signing a business agreement with the Seoul Metropolitan Council and Habitat for Humanity Korea in January last year. In addition to the housing improvement for the first household in Gangnam last year, it has also refurbished four households this year in Guro-gu, Geumcheon-gu, and Jungnang-gu.
