The City’s Human Settlement’s project teams and contractors are back on site and are ready to complete homes for rightful beneficiaries in the city. The City’s R44,2 million housing project is nearing completion and once finished, will provide a total of 340 opportunities to residents. Read more below:

‘We are pleased to see work kick off again after the holiday period and we look forward to providing homes to the remaining beneficiaries. Thus far, 234 opportunities have been handed over, including 16 homes for those with disabilities. We are committed to protecting the opportunities of rightful beneficiaries and we will do everything in our power to deliver more affordable housing in well-located areas in the city.

‘Most recently, the Human Settlements Department handed over 10 more homes to beneficiaries right before the Christmas holidays, and we look forward to handing over many more very soon.

‘The City thanks the community for their support as well as the City contractors and teams for their dedication and hard work and for the role they play in helping us provide homes to some of the poor and most vulnerable residents of the city,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Malusi Booi.

In 2022, the City of Cape Town Human Settlements Directorate took the decision, together with the qualifying beneficiaries, to hand over keys to homes, which are completed and awaiting the final electricity installations to be installed. This is done in agreement with all beneficiaries to protect the homes against the threat of unlawful occupation.

Beneficiaries of all City housing projects are selected in accordance with the City's Housing Allocation Policy and the City's Housing Needs Register to ensure that housing opportunities are made available in a fair and transparent manner that prevents queue jumping and to those who qualify for housing as per the South African legislation.
