Media Release: GRDM Human Settlements Initiative gains momentum and registration drive sees strong community response

25 April 2024

The Garden Route District Municipality’s (GRDM) Human Settlements officers continue their work to facilitate accessible housing opportunities for eligible residents. Over the weekend of 19 to 20 April, Human Settlements Officials embarked on another successful marketing blitz aimed at encouraging eligible individuals falling within the qualifying monthly income threshold to register on the Human Settlements Database.

Officials reported a strong turnout from communities across the various locations, showcasing significant interest in the initiative. The momentum remains strong as officials forge ahead with the registration process, aiming to add between 1500 to 2000 applicants to the current database. The affordable housing database consist of social rental and individual home ownership interests.  These are primarily for households whose monthly income streams and thresholds are between R3 501 – R22 000.

The applicants have to also meet the qualifying criteria which can be summed as follows:

  • Be a South African.

  • Be positioned between the aforementioned income streams.

  • Meet affordability requirements.

  • Be 18 years and above.

  • Have dependents.

The management of the Human Settlements Section extends a genuine appreciation to Messrs. Lubabalo Ketani and Luyolo Ndima for their gallant efforts in driving this initiative forward. Their dedication and hard work have been instrumental in the success of the registration drive thus far.

Interaction between GRDM Human Settlements officials and the community.
