Funded Projects
The Interim Social Housing Programme (ISHP) has been in existence since 2006 when the National Department of Housing (NDoH) confirmed the SHF to be the implementing agent to manage/oversee the allocation and disbursement of the Restructuring Capital Grant (RCG) until the Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA) was established. It was designed as an interim pilot programme and has far exceeded in the delivery of its mandate. Over a period of four years (2006-2010), there have been three funding cycles. This has ensured that the social housing sector in South Africa is motivated and both willing and able to deliver at scale immediately.
