Housing benefit is a system that supports housing expenses for low-income people who are deemed in need of support by comprehensively considering income, housing type, and housing cost burden level. The housing benefit is based on a household allowance that calculates the household’s income level based on various factors such as the household’s income, assets, and liabilities, and the subsidy is paid monthly in cash. Please take a good look at the eligibility criteria and make sure to take care of the housing benefit benefits supported by the state.

Qualifications for Housing Allowance
You can apply for households whose recognized income, which comprehensively reflects the applicant’s income and property, is below 47% of the standard median income (approximately KRW 2.53 million for a family of four). What was 46% in 2022 was reduced to 47% in 2023 (approximately 2.53 million won for 4 people). The existing income and property standards for dependents have also been removed, so those who have not previously received benefits can now receive many benefits, so please check carefully and do not forget to apply and receive benefits.

※ Separate payment for young people living alone
Starting in 2021, housing benefits will be paid separately to young people living apart from their parents in households receiving housing benefits. In other words, if the parent’s family receives housing benefit, unmarried children between the ages of 19 and 30 can also receive housing benefit. However, you must sign a lease agreement in the name of your child, pay the monthly rent, and report moving in.
Housing allowance benefits (payment amount)
The actual rent of the recipient is paid to the renting household, with the upper limit of the standard rent by region and number of household members. In other words, you pay the lower of the actual rent and the standard rent. However, if there is no lease agreement or if the actual rental fee is 0 won, no payment will be made.
