Department of Human Settlement Table 10.1 Programme/service map: Department of Human Settlement Programme/ services Description of the programme/actual service provided Targeted beneficiaries/ qualifying criteria/how to obtain the service Delivery mechanism/ service providers Government housing subsidy (Individual subsidy) A government housing subsidy is a grant awarded by the Department to beneficiaries who qualify in accordance with the governing means test. The grant is not paid in cash to the beneficiaries. Instead, it is paid to the seller of the house or paid to a developer constructing new houses. In the latter case, the house must comply with minimum technical and environmental norms and standards. The house is transferred into the name of the beneficiary once it is built. Amount of the subsidy The amount paid for individual subsidies for a 40 square metre house in 2008/09 was: i earn between R0– R1 500 per month = R43 506 earn between R1 501–R3 500 = R41 027 Targeted beneficiaries Families living in poverty The housing subsidy programme is not targeted at children specifically. The programme is targeted at the household, on the assumption that all individuals in the household living in poverty will benefit.
