A semi-basement flat in Seoul had sat full of belongings for two years. Seven of us cleared it in four hours with 주거복지연대 (Citizens for Decent Housing). Nobody will live there again, so what should it become?
약 2년 동안 짐으로 가득 차 있던 서울의 반지하 집을 주거복지연대와 함께 네 시간 만에 비웠습니다. 이제 아무도 살 수 없는 이 공간은 무엇이 되어야 할까요?

On Saturday, 5 September, members of Seoul Hanmaum Rotary Club joined Habitat for Humanity Korea’s Korea Blitz Build in Chuncheon. What we got from it is a great example of what our Heart of Seoul campaign is trying to say: a home whose value comes from the hours a family puts into it.
Our Heart of Seoul campaign has moved from listening to action. After 89 community members told us housing stability is Seoul's most urgent need, the club opened partnership talks with Habitat for Humanity Korea and is designing programs across four tracks: hands-on service, youth financial literacy, intergenerational mentorship, and community storytelling.
Seoul Hanmaum Rotary Club’s community listening campaign gathered 89 responses from residents, members, supporters, and neighbors. The clearest message was unmistakable: housing affordability and stability has become the top concern, followed by economic inequality and job access, elderly care and social isolation, and youth support and education.

서울한마음로타리클럽의 지역사회 경청 캠페인에는 89건의 응답이 모였습니다. 주민, 회원, 후원자, 이웃들의 목소리에서 가장 분명하게 드러난 메시지는 주거비 부담 및 주거 안정성이 가장 시급한 문제라는 점이었습니다. 그 뒤를 경제적 불평등 및 일자리 접근성, 노인 돌봄 및 사회적 고립, 청소년 지원 및 교육이 이었습니다.
