Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH) said on the 23rd it will implement the "energy self-reliance living stabilization fund support program (energy cost support program)" for young people preparing for self-reliance and youth living outside the home.
Based on the "LH YOUTH+START platform," the program was prepared to help young people taking their first steps into society ease the burden of energy costs. The energy support funds to run the program were donated by Hyosung.
Those eligible are young people preparing for self-reliance and youth living outside the home who have moved into or are scheduled to move into LH rental housing, and 400,000 won per person is expected to be provided.
Applications for the program can be made through LH's "YOUTH+START housing and living support platform." The "YOUTH+START housing and living support platform" is a one-stop support window that enables everything from moving into rental housing to applying for various living support programs. For details, guidance is available through the "YOUTH+START counseling center," a dedicated, customized call center for young people preparing for self-reliance and youth living outside the home.
Cho Kyung-sook, acting LH president, said, "I hope this energy cost support helps young people who may feel the burden of cooling costs in this era of high oil prices," adding, "Going forward, LH will continue to work with various institutions to help resolve the practical difficulties that young people preparing for self-reliance and youth living outside the home face as they stand on their own."
