  31. Summary of the Priorities and Funding Needs

  32. Departmental Budget Proposals To National Treasury

  33. CONSOLIDATED SOCIAL AND RENTAL HOUSING FUND • Proposal that the Social and Rental allocations, Institutional subsidies and the Restructuring Capital Grant (RCG),be consolidated and disbursed as one funding stream to Municipalities and Social Housing Institutions; • This will enhance the integrated process between the planning, funding and implementation arrangements, thus expediting delivery outcomes; • Crowding and leveraging of private sector funding and contributions • The Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTEF) target for the delivery of social and rental housing is 30 000 units; • Actual delivery of social and rental housing units, as facilitated through the Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA), is 8 452 as at 31 March 2016; • The remaining number of units required to achieve the target is therefore 21 548.

  34. CONSOLIDATED SOCIAL AND RENTAL HOUSING FUND • The available data shows that the average cost of a one (1)-bedroom unit has increased by 47% over the seven years while the RCG has remained static; • To address the challenge, the Department is currently considering a proposal to increase the RCG quantum to R155 000 per unit. • To improve performance and accountability the Department is considering proposals to improve checks and balances in the sector and this includes separation of the regulatory, grant making and allocation and investment functions

  35. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: CONSOLIDATED SOCIAL AND RENTAL HOUSING FUND • The calculation is based on R155 000 per unit which brings the shortage on RCG to R1.9 billion over the MTEF. For 2017/18 – R161.2 million, 2018/19 – R932.6 million and for 2019/20 – R876.3 million • The institutional subsidy has already been adjusted to R110k

  36. CATALYTIC PROJECTS PROGRAMME • There is an agreement between DHS and Housing Development Agency (HDA) to align, streamline and integrate programme and project functions; • Proposal for HDA to function as an developer and/or implementation agent and/or facilitator to reduce inefficiencies in Provinces and Municipalities in respect of key programmes focusing on the catalytic projects; • The HDA will undertake development facilitation and project structuring, development implementation in conjunction with the private sector; • The assessment of the projects indicates the catalytic projects will include the implementation of the Informal Settlements Upgrading Programme, Affordable Rental Housing and FLISP.

  37. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: CATALYTIC PROJECTS PROGRAMME

  38. CENTRALIZATION OF FLISP • The FLISP is not performing as expected in Provinces and Municipalities; • The proposal is to top-slice both the HSDG and USDG to allow the FLISP to be managed by the department and/or entity; • The Department to agree on the programme delivery vehicle.

  39. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: CENTRALIZATION OF FLiSP

  40. DFI CONSOLIDATION AND CAPITALIZATION • The recapitalisation of the consolidated human settlements DFI’s is proposed to ensure that the Department adequately responds to the NDP guideline to “lessen the developmental load” for provision of adequate housing and integrated human settlements • This will promote improved leveraging and multiplier benefits from partnership funding • It is projected that an amount of R10.3 billion or 10% be “shaved” off, from the HSDG and USDG, and used to recapitalise the Human Settlements Development Bank with agreed targets, outputs and outcomes, which will benefit households

  41. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: DFI CONSOLIDATION AND CAPITALIZATION

  42. ASSET VERIFICATION PROJECT • Proposal to compile asset registers of the HSDG and USDG funded projects (deliverables) implemented in 2015/16 and 2016/17 that set the basis for monitoring human settlements projects for the remainder of the 2014/19 MTSF period • The aim of the project is to have an effective M&E system that contains credible and verifiable information, which is consistent across various reports and information platforms • The NHBRC will also be expected to assist in asset verification exercise on HSDG funding.

  43. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: ASSET VERIFICATION PROJECT

  44. NORTHERN CAPE BACKLOG ERADICATION • The Human Settlements MinMec has taken a decision to target the Northern Cape to eradicate the housing backlog • Total backlog in the Northern Cape is 52 000 units, and there will be a pooling of resources from the Provincial grants to co-fund the eradication • The targeted output over the 3 years is 11 384 units costing R1.6 billion The additional amounts required for 2017/18 is R800m for 5 525 units, for 2018/19 it is R500m for 3 453 units and for 2019/20 it is R348.4m for 2 406 units

  45. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: NORTHERN CAPE BACKLOG ERADICATION

  46. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES HOUSING SCHEME (GEHS) • The GEHS provides housing access support services to government employees and is administered by the State to ensure that employees have access to adequate housing on a sustainable basis • The Department is expected to undertake the function of service provider to the GEHS

  47. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES HOUSING SCHEME (GEHS)

  48. UPSCALING INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS UPGRADING • The number of informal settlements in South Africa grew from an estimated 300 in 1994 to approximately 2700 in 2010. • As a result, the upgrading of informal settlements was already prioritized during 2004 in the Comprehensive Plan for the Development of Sustainable Human Settlements (BNG) which was approved by Cabinet.

  49. UPSCALING INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS UPGRADING • The upgrading of informal settlements was introduced as a target under Outcome 8 and targets were set for Provinces based on the Human Settlement Development Grant (HSDG) Allocations. • With the introduction of the Urban Settlement Development Grant (USDG) to the eight (8) metropolitan municipalities, particular targets were also set for these municipalities.

  50. UPSCALING INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS UPGRADING • Feasibility studies for 1 100 informal settlements completed, Municipal upgrading strategies completed for 43 municipalities and 400 settlement upgrading plans have been completed for implementation by municipalities. •  At March 2016, 185 731 households were upgraded which represents 25,9% of the MTSF target. A total of 8 879 households were upgraded, a total of 555 390 households remain to be upgraded in 3 years at an average of more than 185 130 households per annum.
