Support for Residents’ Lives and Economic RecoveryThe Way Back to Normal Living

Support for Residents’ Lives and Economic Recovery The Way Back to Normal Living

 

The ‘nice landlords’ who voluntarily lowered the rent for tenants to protect the frozen business activities in backstreets and the small-business owners at risk of business collapse from COVID-19
provided sources of warmth for the community. Responding to this movement, Yeonsu-gu decided to reduce the property tax for landlords who participated in the ‘Nice Landlord Movement.’
On the other hand, Yeonsu-gu expanded Yeonsu E-eum cashbackand strengthened the discount benefits of the Benefits Plus member store to lay the groundwork for residents to recover from their financial situations and for businesses on backstreets to survive. To this end, the office provided 50% of the monthly rent for three selfsupporting companies in the jurisdiction for five months, provided financial support for food- and public hygiene-related facilities, and revitalized the daily lives of downtrodden residents and darkened alleyways. The office is also implementing a plan for co-prosperity in the welfare sector, including support for vulnerable groups, such
as for self-quarantined citizens due to COVID-19 and temporary support for childcare. As such, the office provides a solid foundation for all residents to return to normal living.
