○ Seven migrant worker shelters selected for facility upgrades and meal support

On May 13, Gyeonggi Province announced the selection of seven organizations for its “2026 Migrant Worker Shelter Improvement Support Project,” aimed at improving the living stability of migrant workers.

The project goes beyond basic facility repairs by improving living, safety, and hygiene conditions at migrant worker shelters operated by nonprofit and civic organizations throughout the province.

Each shelter will receive up to KRW 10 million. Support includes improvements to aging electrical systems and other potential fire hazards, repairs to flooring, wallpaper, toilets, and kitchen facilities, quarantine and disinfection services, and partial support for food expenses.

Following an open call for applications in March, seven organizations were selected through administrative reviews, on-site inspections, and deliberation by Gyeonggi Province’s Local Subsidy Review Committee. The project runs from May to December. Since launching the program in 2021, the province has supported 48 facility improvement projects for 23 organizations through 2025.
