Cheongyang County has launched the ‘2026 Empty House Connection Housing’ project to encourage regional settlement among young people, newlyweds, and those returning to farming. The initiative involves remodeling five abandoned rural houses to provide stable, low-cost housing.

Under this program, selected residents can live in the renovated homes for up to three years through contract renewals. The policy features no security deposit and a monthly rent of 10,000 KRW, requiring a single annual payment of 120,000 KRW. Eligibility is extended to non-homeowning heads of households aged 18 to 45, newlyweds married within the last seven years, and individuals relocating from urban areas or moving to the county for farming purposes.
