Overview
The Umzimhlope People’s Housing Project, for which the City provides project management, training and support, has provided 300 subsidised owner-built housing units in Khayelitsha. Beneficiaries are required to seek assistance from friends, or employ others to help them build their homes at their own cost. They can access a housing subsidy to plan and manage the work. A support organisation is appointed to manage the project.
