The Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH) is a government-owned corporation which is responsible for the development of land in cities, and the maintenance and management of land and housing.

Foundation Basis

LH was built by law to form the Korea Land Development Corporation, and the Korea Housing Corporation. The two companies were merged in 2009 by the government to form the current LH.[1]

Foundation Reason

Under the government's plan to advance the public corporations, it aims to eliminate overlapping functions, such as the establishment of housing development projects carried out by the Korea Housing Corporation and Korea Land Corporation, and to contribute to the development of the national economy by providing new funds.
