GwangJuness Community Care
面向弱势群体的社区人文关怀项目
“No citizen is left out” is not just a slogan for the city of Gwangju. The previous caregiving system in Korea selected beneficiaries based on age and income, and only supported those who were eligible to make an application. To address this gap, Gwangju has created an innovative care model, Gwangjuness Community Care, for anyone who needs care.
对于光州市来说，“不落下一个市民”不仅仅是一句口号。以前，韩国的民生关怀制度根据年龄和收入筛选受益者，只为符合特定条件的人群提供帮助。为了弥补其中的空缺，光州为所有需要关怀的人打造了一种创新的关怀模式，即面向弱势群体的社区民生关怀项目（Gwangjuness Community Care）。
Dong-office (smallest administrative division) care managers visit individuals in their homes, check their situation, and apply for needed services. Gwangju has launched 16 new care services and plans to inject US$7.74 million annually to encourage citizens facing economic hardship to take advantage of these care services. “Care Call” has been launched as a single application channel to increase convenience.
洞是韩国最小的行政区划，洞区工作人员会前往群众家中拜访，查看他们的情况，并帮他们申请所需要的服务。光州推出了16项新的关怀服务，并计划每年投入774万美元，以鼓励经济困难的市民使用这些服务。项目还设立了“关怀电话”作为独立的申请渠道，为市民提供便利。
To ensure implementation, Gwangju has established a “dedicated division,” designated 320 care managers, and selected 38 private sector care service providers.
为了确保项目实施，光州还成立了一个专门部门，指定了320名关怀人员，并选定了38家私营企业作为关怀服务提供方。
