HDC Hyundai Development Company said on the 2nd that, based on the results of a housing environment improvement project promoted as part of Seoul's public-private partnership program for safe housing, it held a dedication ceremony for households damaged by flooding in Dobong District, following Yongsan District in Seoul.
The dedication ceremony held on the 1st was conducted for a household with a person with a severe disability that suffered major damage from flooding among the 15 households selected for Seoul's housing environment improvement project. Kim Yong-ho, vice chair of the Seoul Metropolitan Council's Urban Safety and Construction Committee, Cho Seong-ho, Seoul's director of housing policy, Lee Gwang-hoe, secretary-general of Habitat, and Shin Wang-seop, Deputy Minister at HDC Hyundai Development Company, attended to help members of the housing-vulnerable class start their daily lives anew.
The household supported this time lives with a child with a severe disability, and its living environment had been seriously damaged by repeated flooding. HDC Hyundai Development Company remodeled the home, including repairing the entire interior space and installing a new exhaust fan. The guardian who saw the refurbished home recalled the harsh conditions after the flooding and expressed gratitude.
An HDC Hyundai Development Company official said, "It is meaningful that the public-private partnership program for safe housing conducted with Seoul confirmed results in a total of 15 households, including Dobong District following Yongsan District, and we will continue social contribution activities that deliver real change to neighbors in need."
HDC Hyundai Development Company signed a business agreement with the Seoul Metropolitan Council and Korea Habitat in January last year and has been steadily carrying out projects to improve housing environments for vulnerable households in Seoul and to provide sponsorship funds. Following the improvement of the first household in Gangnam District last year, four households in Guro District, Geumcheon District, and Jungnang District were also refurbished this year.
