Seoul's Gangseo District is launching the "Ansim House Residential Environment Improvement Project" for low-income, housing-vulnerable households in areas affected by airport noise.

The district will invest 100 million won ($73,000) secured after being selected for Korea Airports Corporation's "2026 Resident Support Public Contest."

The program targets 15 households of basic livelihood recipients and the near-poor class residing in Gonghang-dong, Hwagok 1-dong, Balsan 1-dong, and Banghwa 2-dong.

Selected households will receive customized home repair services worth up to 6.5 million won, including wallpaper and flooring replacement, as well as boiler and ventilation fan repairs.

Applications will be accepted at community service centers until the 20th, with construction scheduled to begin in June.

Through this project, the district expects to improve the residential environment and quality of life for residents affected by noise around the airport.
