Other Housing Subsidy Programmes

• The Integrated Residential Development Programme (IRDP) provides for the acquisition of land, servicing of stands for a variety of land uses including commercial, recreational, schools and clinics. It also provides for residential stands for low, middle and high income groups. The land use and income group mix will be based on local planning and needs assessment.
• The Upgrading of Informal Settlements Programme (UISP) which seeks to upgrade the living conditions of millions of poor people by providing secure tenure and access to basic services and housing.
• The Institutional Programme which provides capital grants to social housing institutions which construct and manage affordable rental units. The Programme also provides for the sale of units by the social housing institution after at least four years has lapsed.
• The Consolidation Subsidy Programme which seeks to assist households who have received serviced sites in terms of the state housing scheme instituted pre-1994. It provides for the completion of houses on the serviced sites.
