1. CONTENTS (1) RESEARCH OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to find ways to revitalize the supply of welfare housing for the elderly by identifying the current situation and problems in which welfare housing for the elderly have been supplied sluggishly and supplied mainly for the high-income class. (2) RESEARCH METHOD As a research method, the supply of systematic private construction rental housing and the supply case of elderly housing in major developed countries were first compared and analyzed based on previous research papers and various literature. In addition, various statistical data at home and abroad were used here. (3) RESEARCH FINDINGS As a result of the study, the reason for the sluggish supply of welfare housing for the elderly and the high-priced supply were that the market principle of supply and demand in the elderly housing market has not worked properly. 2. RESULTS As a way to improve and revitalize this, first, it is to classify and define elderly welfare housing defined as facilities into housing type and facility type, and to prepare detailed regulations on the supply, installation, operation, and management of elderly welfare housing. Second, it is to improve the system to guarantee the return of full admission deposits and secure land ownership. Third, the government or local governments supply land cheaply to social welfare corporations, medical care, and religious corporations to improve the profit structure of suppliers, while allowing installation operators to pursue the public interest of welfare for the elderly. Fourth, local governments develop and distribute programs to introduce a facility operation evaluation system, train professional operation managers, and supervise facility operation.
