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.
