Housing Benefit for Youth: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn if you can receive monthly rent assistance if you are a young adult living separately from your parents in South Korea.

This scheme provides monthly cash payments to help young adults cover the cost of their rent.

Who it's for

You may qualify if you are between the ages of 19 and 30 and live in a different household than your parents. Your household must also meet certain low-income requirements.

What you get

You receive a monthly cash payment intended to help pay for your rent.

What it costs you

To receive this benefit, you must provide documentation that proves you are living in a different city than your parents.

The catch to know

This benefit is not standalone; your parents must already be receiving housing benefits for you to qualify for this separate payment.

How to apply

  1. Verify that you meet the age and income requirements.
  2. Confirm that your parents are currently receiving housing benefits.
  3. Gather proof that you reside in a different city from your parents.
  4. Contact your local government office to start the application process.
