Incheon City on the 27th announced a call for preliminary tenants for the "1,000-won dwellings" (jeonse rental dwellings).
Under the 1,000-won dwellings program, if an applicant selected as a prospective tenant directly chooses a jeonse dwelling within the support limit, the Incheon Housing & City Development Corporation signs a jeonse contract with the dwelling owner and then provides it to the prospective tenant at a rent of 1,000 won per day (30,000 won per month). This is an Incheon-style housing welfare policy.
This recruitment totals 700 households: ▲ 200 households under the newlyweds/newborns II type ▲ 500 households under the jeonse-rental-type "Reassuring dwellings" (non-apartment type). Eligibility and support conditions differ by type, and duplicate applications are not allowed.
Applicants must be members of a homeless household as of the announcement date (Feb. 27, 2026) and meet the eligibility requirements for each type, such as newlyweds within seven years of marriage, prospective newlyweds, and newborn households.
For the "newlyweds/newborns II" type, household monthly average income must be at or below 130% of the previous year's urban worker household average (or at or below 200% when including a spouse's income), and total asset must meet the asset standard for public rental dwellings convertible to sale with a six-year mandatory rental period.
Move-in priority is as follows: ▲ newborn households and eligible single-parent families are first priority ▲ newlyweds and prospective newlyweds with minor children, and single-parent families with children age 6 or younger are second priority ▲ newlyweds and prospective newlyweds without minor children are third priority.
Applications will be accepted in person at the central hall of Incheon City Hall from Mar. 16 to 20. Details are available on the websites of Incheon City and the Incheon Housing & City Development Corporation and on the Incheon Housing portal.
A city official said, "We will continue practical housing support so that newlyweds and newborn households struggling with housing costs can live with peace of mind."
