Seoul Housing and Urban Development Corporation (SH) said on the 15th it will recruit tenants for 1,014 units in the 49th round of long-term jeonse housing.
Known as "Shift," the city's long-term jeonse housing is public rental apartments where, once you move in, you can live for up to 20 years without worrying about moving. This round covers a total of 75 complexes with 1,014 units, including 4 newly supplied complexes and 71 re-supplied complexes (districts).
All newly supplied units are city-purchased in Seoul: 37 units (59㎡) at The H Daechi Edelweiss in Gangnam-gu, 25 units (53㎡) at Hanwha Forena Mia in Gangbuk-gu, 100 units (45·51·59㎡) at Jamsil Le El in Songpa-gu, and 17 units (49㎡) at Eunpyeong Xi The Star in Eunpyeong-gu, for a total of 179 units across 4 complexes. Re-supplied units total 835: 356 SH-built units in the Magok and Naegok districts, 299 city-purchased units in complexes such as Maple Xi and Olympic Park Foreon, and 180 units in Seoul REITs No. 3.
Applicants must be adult, homeless household members residing in Seoul, meeting the following criteria: monthly average income of urban workers at or below 105%·150% (dual-income households at or below 140%·200%), total assets at or below 640 million won, and vehicle value at or below 45.63 million won. Income and asset criteria are eased by up to 20% depending on the number of children born. People with disabilities, those supporting elderly parents, households with two or more children, and national merit recipients are eligible for priority supply. Those who fail in the priority supply application are automatically converted to general supply applicants for the same complex and size.
Applications can be submitted online or in person. The application periods are Jan. 8–9, 2026 for first priority, Jan. 12 for second priority, and Jan. 19 for third and fourth priority. For dwellings of 85㎡ or smaller, application priority is determined by income conditions, residence, the number of subscriptions to the Comprehensive Housing Subscription Savings, etc., by the requested size; for dwellings over 85㎡, priority is determined by the deposit amount and subscription period of the Comprehensive Housing Subscription Savings.
Applicants must apply on the date for their respective priority. If the number of applicants exceeds 200% of the number of units supplied (300% for newly supplied complexes), lower-priority applications will not be accepted. Those subject to document screening and successful applicants will be announced on Feb. 10 and July 10, 2026, respectively. Move-ins will be possible from Aug. 2026, and for newly supplied complexes, move-in dates may vary depending on completion timing.
