| Abstract |
This study aims to investigate the housing welfare services provided by housing welfare centers in Korea by analyzing cases by housing
welfare center type(local government centered, public organization centered, and private non-profit organization centered), and to analyze the
services provided by each type of housing welfare center and the characteristics of each type of service. To achieve these goals, this study
established criteria to classify housing welfare service types by examining existing literature and prior research. Based on these criteria, nine
Korean housing welfare centers were visited, and interviews were conducted with center directors and staff members. The gathered data and
materials were organized and summarized, followed by a content analysis of the housing welfare services provided. These services were
categorized as directly supported or indirectly supported based on budget sources. The results indicated that a comprehensive framework was
introduced for categorizing and classifying housing welfare services from Korean housing welfare centers. These were grouped into three main
service types: physical services, economic services, and social services. Directly supported services mainly focused on physical aspects like
housing improvement, renovation, and environmental improvement projects. Social services centered on housing counseling and welfare
education. For indirectly supported services, which rely on external resources other than center budgets, establishing measures is essential.
These measures should prioritize facilitating access to relevant information for housing vulnerable groups. Additionally, effective collaboration
is key to ensuring a well-organized, post-management of indirectly supported services. |
