DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SETTLEMENTS PRESENTATION TO THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SERVICE 20 APRIL 2010 1

Aim The aim of the Department of Human Settlements is to determine, finance, promote, coordinate, communicate and monitor policy in respect of housing and human settlement. 2

Current Human Settlement Conditions Context: – Rapid urbanisation and migration (rural to urban) – Population growth – household formation and diminishing size Informal settlement growth Lack of access to Basic Services Unbalanced property markets Un-sustainable development choices 3

Settlement Categorization (12,5 million Households in RSA) Formal Settlements: – Formally proclaimed townships with secure tenure – Generally with formal houses – may also have (in)formal structures & backyard dwellings – Surveyed/ pegged/ formal & planned layout/ geotech – Access to one or more formal basic Services supply Informal (free-standing) Settlements (1,2 mil hh) – – – – Un-proclaimed land, therefore no secure tenure Inhabitable ground in many cases (in-situ upgrading limitations) Land not surveyed nor subject regulated use Un-serviced (temporary services: e.g. chemical toilets etc) TOTAL Settlements on Tribal/ Communal Land HOUSING Settlements on Farms (farm-workers) NEED: 2.2 million 4

Basic Services Household Access to water – Remaining needs 3.95mill Households Household access to Sanitation – Current needs 3,2mill households Household access to Electricity (energy) – Current needs 2,6mill households Refuse Removal (once a week) – Current need 4,56 mill households un-served 5

Urbanization And Demographic Trends The “dual residence” of some households (who maintain a rural base while sojourning in urban areas) is a deeply entrenched feature of many households Migration to Urban areas is increasingly permanent Urbanisation is irreversible and GROWING Urban consolidation since the 1960s Informal settlements residents are largely address-less: this is another shackle in the residents’ exclusion NOTE: Phenomenon of “shifting target” in the delivery of services 6

Macro Conditions Impacting on Human Settlements Rapid urbanization and Migration to cities Structural unemployment and informality Economic down-turn: diminishing access to housing finance (credit) More households falling in subsidy income band Diminishing bulk infrastructure spare capacity Social and geographical disparities - inequality Inputs: costs construction materials capacity Built environment governance nexus Sustainability: climate change and related 7

Pillars of the Human Settlements Development Strategy Pillars 1: Statement of Outcomes (expectations) Prevailing reality Mandate (manifesto/ SoNA/ Budget Speech) Sustainability considerations (today’s choices for a better future) Pillars 2: Macro Co-ordination & Alignment Pillars 3: Urbanization & Spatial Management Pillars 4: Key priorities Residential Property development Governance (2009/10) Shelter development: (2009 – 2014) – “Core mandate period” Long term (2009 – 2025) Pillars 5: Transformation: Paradigm shift Pillars 6: Institutional Re-alignment for Implementation 8

Service Delivery Priorities (2014) Accelerate Upgrading of Informal Settlements – Objective: To upgrade well located informal settlements and provide proper services and land tenure to 500 000 households by 2014 Upscale development of Affordable Rental Housing Stock (Urban focus) – Objective: Increase the rate of affordable rental housing delivery of at least 20 000 units per year Land Assembly for Human Settlements – Objective: To set aside 6 250 hectares (net)of well located public land for low income and affordable housing (accommodating approximately 400 000 units by 2014 which is at 60 units per ha on average) 9

Service Delivery Priorities (2014) cont. National Settlement Infrastructure Development – Objective: Accelerated provision and upgrade of bulk infrastructure networks to prioritised settlements by 2014 Facilitate increased supply of affordable housing finance – Objective: To accommodate people whose salaries are too high to get a government subsidies, but who earn too little to qualify for a normal bank mortgage. 10

Progress Analysis The transfer of the Sanitation Unit from the previous Department of Water Affairs and Forestry has been finalised. The Department has ensured that the necessary support service are provided albeit challenges in terms of office space accommodation and other operational resources. The National Housing Code, 2009 was published in February 2010 and disseminated to all provinces, municipalities and stakeholders. Included in the new National Housing Code, 2009 is the new housing assistance programme for farm residents. In some instances policy development processes were delayed owing to further consultations being required and intergovernmental cooperation posed particular challenges in finalising policy instruments. 14

Progress Analysis The Department developed a conceptual document on the implication of the name change from Housing to Human Settlements. An indaba on alternative building technologies is currently being arranged to provide answers to the question raised. The Department through the Chief Directorate Monitoring and Evaluation completed the Beneficiary Occupancy Audit, initiated during the year in seven of the nine Provinces. The Department undertook three Impact Evaluation Studies to determine the impact of various housing programmes on the lives of Beneficiaries. The targeted programmes are the Rural housing Programme, the Social and Rental Housing Programme and the Upgrading of Informal Settlements. 15

Progress Analysis In addition, the Department proceeded with the project-level monitoring process to verify and confirm delivery as reported by Provincial Human Settlements Departments. The Department initiated a process to develop a Human Settlement Index for SA in collaboration with UN Habitat. A significant highlight of the Departmental engagements with stakeholders has been entering into agreements with, the Platinum Mines for possible roll out of projects in Limpopo and North West, Intersite for joint developments of land in and around railway stations, and the DBSA for technical support on priority and blocked projects. Significantly, Department negotiated the signing of the agreement with the Department of Public Works that gives the Human Settlement department first right of refusal on any land being considered for disposal by DPW. 16

Progress Analysis The National Upgrading Support Programme has been established and will in future provide support to municipalities in the in situ upgrading of informal settlements. A project process guide has been developed to guide implementers of projects in the housing process and would also serve as a project management and monitoring tool for project managers. The newly established Housing Development Agency (HDA), following the promulgation of the Housing Development Act, 2008 (Act. 23 of 2008) was operational in the 2009/10 financial year. The Department in collaboration with the Rural Housing Loan Fund has finalised the development of an individual housing subsidy voucher scheme for persons who enjoy functional tenure rights to the land they occupy. 17

Progress Analysis The Department has ensured that operational systems are aligned with changes in housing policy and also implemented change requests received from the nine provincial housing department. A process to develop generic business processes based on documented housing delivery processes has been implemented. Five municipalities are accredited to level one. To date municipal accreditation compliance and capacitation assessment panel has completed level 1 and 2 assessments of all six metro’s and four local municipalities. In the international arena, South Africa was given a voice in the debate on human settlements through the African Ministerial Conference on Housing and Urban Development and the World Urban Forum. 18

Progress Analysis Due to inadequate resources the Department is not able to fill all its vacant posts. The filling of vacancies is done on a prioritized basis and will be done gradually as funding is available such that the new structure will be fully implemented by 2010/11 financial year. 19

Challenges Responses Lack of a shared understanding of the BNG plan across provinces and between provinces and National Department Refine the role of municipalities in the housing delivery chain as well as to establish the necessary mechanisms for the rollout of accreditation, as provided for in the Housing Act (1997). By Provide assistance and monitoring support to provinces and municipalities in their planning of priority housing projects 73

Challenges BNG expanded the mandate of the Department without giving the department the political directive to pursue its policy intentions, thus the department’s jurisdiction did not change though what it wanted to deliver changed. Responses The Department of Housing has been reconfigured to be the Department of Human Settlements. This was in part, government’s gearing to respond to the challenges experienced by the department in the implementation of BNG ideals in the past five years The reconfiguration of the department captures the ideologies of BNG, gives the department the political directive and vigour to trigger change in society and build settlements that have social and material elements to support livelihoods. 74

Challenges Responses Inadequate intergovernmental It will also look at how best to coordination for accelerated housing coordinate investment between delivery. sector departments, critical public and private role players, and the three spheres of government. Lack of capacity to monitor and evaluate the implementation of housing programmes. Direct support to provinces and municipalities on the implementation of projects, supporting projects where there are blockages, and facilitating cooperation with the private sector. 75

Challenges Responses Creating a functioning housing market that allows low income households to capitalise on the equity provided by the free house, while minimising the distortions housing subsidies create for households in other segments of the housing market. Capital grants will be limited and will have to be supported by the institutional subsidy programme for rental housing institutions. To accommodate continuous support to the social housing sector, the allocation for the Social Housing Foundation has been retained until the regulator has been established. To ensure an increase in the supply of rental housing to accommodate increased urban immigration, the allocation formula of the integrated human settlement grant has been adjusted. Further changes to the allocation mechanism are being pursued to take into account capacity challenges in certain provinces and related municipalities 76
