The City’s Human Settlements Directorate is proud to celebrate with the new homeowners of the Bonteheuwel Infill housing project.
Over the past few weeks it handed 234 homes over to beneficiaries in the area, a significant milestone in what is one of the City’s most meaningful and community-centred housing projects.
“This is a long-anticipated moment for many residents,” said Mayco member for Human Settlements Carl Pophaim, “and we are honoured to assist so many families with a housing opportunity at the Bonteheuwel Infill housing project. The R140 million project provides Breaking New Ground (BNG) homes to families, and several homes are designed to accommodate elderly residents and people with disabilities.
“To date, all 273 housing opportunities are completed, with 270 opportunities handed over to beneficiaries. The Bonteheuwel Infill project is just one of several housing projects currently underway across the metro, and we continue to accelerate our delivery to provide opportunities for residents. This celebration is a reminder of what is possible when communities and all stakeholders work together.
“We congratulate every new homeowner, and we look forward to many more joyous handovers across the metro. Beneficiaries of City housing projects are selected in accordance with the City’s Housing Allocation Policy and Housing Needs Register, to ensure housing opportunities are made available in a fair and transparent manner, which prevents queue jumping, and serves those in particular who qualify for housing as per the South African legislation.”
