                                    Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Program, better known as FLISP, was developed by the Department of Human Settlement to enable affordable first time home-ownership opportunities to South African citizens and legal permanent residents earning between R 3 501<\/strong> and R 22 000<\/strong> per month<\/strong>, (the \u201caffordable\u201d or \u201cgap\u201d market). Individuals in these salary bands generally find it hard to qualify for housing finance; their income is regarded as low for mortgage finance, but too high to qualify for the government \u201cfree-basic-house\u201d subsidy scheme.<\/p>\n

                                    The subsidy will be used to decrease the mortgage bond and is only applicable to persons who have never been assisted by the state. It will be disbursed as a once off subsidy.<\/p>\n

                                    What to do with FLISP?<\/strong><\/p>\n

                                    Qualifying applicants may use FLISP to do one of the following:<\/p>\n

                                    \u2022 buy an existing, new or old, residential property.
                                    \u2022 buy a vacant serviced residential-stand, linked to an NHBRC registered home-builder.
                                    \u2022 contract or build a residential property on a self-owned serviced residential stand, through an NHBRC registered home-builder.<\/p>\n

                                    The once-off FLISP subsidy amount ranges between R 20 000<\/strong> and R 87 000<\/strong>, depending on the applicant\u2019s income. The maximum price of a property that can be financed through FLISP is not limited ,but the applicant has to meet the income bracket (R 3501- R 22 0000)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                                    In order to ensure that housing units delivered through the National Housing Scheme are adjusted to accommodate the special housing needs of a disabled beneficiary (or a member of the beneficiary household) to enable them to live independently, certain additions\/alterations are necessary.<\/p>\n

                                    The developer will therefore submit an application for the adjustment of the subsidy amount for extraordinary development conditions on the applicable form with all relevant information (e.g. proof of disabilities) to enable the decision-making authority to evaluate the application.<\/p>\n

                                    The MEC may require additional information before the final decision can be conveyed to the Developer.<\/p>\n

                                    Government cares for people with disabilities. Thus, those who qualify for a housing subsidy will receive additional amounts to improve their houses with special additions such as paving and ramps to the outside doors, grab rails in bathrooms, kick plates on doors and visible door bells for the deaf.<\/p>\n

                                        WHAT IS THE PROGRAMME ABOUT? <\/strong><\/p>\n

                                        During the process of upgrading informal settlements, it may be necessary to temporarily re-house households while services are being installed or formal houses are being built on sites previously occupied by informal structures. Likewise it may be necessary to provide temporary housing relief to households in stress following natural or man-made disasters (e.g. where settlements have been destroyed by fire or houses have been rendered uninhabitable by storms and need to be repaired). In such cases the National Disaster Relief Fund renders the first line of Government assistance. The Emergency Housing Assistance Programme may then be used for temporary housing for disaster victims until such time as they can be provided with permanent houses.<\/p>\n

                                        WHO WILL BE ASSISTED?<\/strong><\/p>\n

                                        This Programme will apply to emergency situations of exceptional housing need, such situations being referred to as \u201cEmergencies\u201d. The Programme will benefit all affected persons who are not in a position to address their housing emergency from their own resources or from other sources such as the proceeds of house insurance policies.<\/p>\n

                                        THE FOLLOWING HOUSEHOLDS WILL QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THIS PROGRAMME:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                                          The National department of Human Settlements identified a need for a dedicated programme for the participation of youth in human settlements delivery through service. To this end the Human Settlement Youth Empowerment Programme was established in a form of a National Human Settlements Youth Brigade (NHSYB).<\/p>\n

                                          The main purpose of the Human Settlements Youth Brigade programme is to provide exposure to Human Settlements, training, employment and economic opportunities for young people and the focus is on mostly Mega (Catalytic) projects and the entire value chain so as to instill self-reliance and patriotism \/ national pride. It should be noted however, that in the Eastern Cape the programme is spread across all district municipal areas. In order to facilitate smooth running of the program an implementation process\/ guideline was considered essential.<\/p>\n

                                          1. JOB CREATION No Stipend is provided for this category as the youth will part of the labour force of the contractor and will be paid the applicable wages by the contractor from project funds as part of normal labour or sub \u2013contractors.<\/p>\n

                                          2. ARTISAN DEVELOPMENT This is essentially related to the National Youth Services (NYS) programme. This entails Recruitment , Technical Training (off site) and On site training \/ Community Service The total duration for the Artisan Development programme therefore is 12 months during which stipend of R1500.00 is payable to each youth Brigade member.<\/p>\n

                                          3. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT The trained youth will be supported to access tertiary education opportunities.<\/p>\n

                                          4. EXIT STRATEGIES (AFTER CARE) The youth that have undergone the various training programmes will be given guidance & may therefore; Form their own companies; Establish Co-operatives or Joint Ventures with other youth.<\/p>\n

                                                The aim of the PHP programme is to deliver better human settlement outcomes (at household and the community contribution, partnerships and the leveraging of additional resources through partnerships. This is achieved by developing livelihoods interventions which lead to outcomes such as job creation, developing a culture of savings, skills transfer, and community empowerment, building of community assets and social security and cohesion. The PHP enables \/ encourages communities to actively contribute and participate in the housing development process so that communities take ownership of the process and not just act as passive recipients of housing.<\/p>

                                                Special Needs Group Housing (SNGH) Programme <\/strong><\/p>

                                                The main objective of the SNGH programme is to ensure that the constitutional right to adequate housing or shelter is upheld by the government of the Eastern Cape and specifically that there is a responsive and enabling subsidy mechanism for group residential housing\/ facilities for persons with special needs.<\/p>

                                                Special Needs Group Housing refers to any one of the following facilities for people in need of group housing and care: foster care home, place of safety, shelter, child and youth care centre, home for older persons, shelter for victims of domestic abuse and violence, group residential facilities for people with disabilities, rehabilitation centres, night shelters for the homeless, or any facility providing care and shelter for those in special need.<\/p>

                                                In the first instance, the Programme is thus geared to availing capital subsidy resources within the human settlements sector for providing the shelter related aspects of care-based services for persons with special needs as provided by well capacitated NPOs. Secondly, the programme is geared to facilitating the provision of technical project and management capacity available within the human settlements sector for the creation of such shelter for those in special need.<\/p>

                                                Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Programme (FLISP)<\/strong><\/p>

                                                Government housing Subsidy Available to First Time Home Owners Earning Between\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 R 3501 - R 15000 - Who qualify for home loans. Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Program, better known as FLISP, was developed by the Department of Human Settlement to enable\u00a0 affordable first time home-ownership opportunities to South African citizens and legal permanent residents earning between R3 501 and R15 000 per month, (the \u201caffordable\u201d or \u201cgap\u201d market).<\/p>

                                                Individuals in these salary bands generally find it hard to qualify for housing finance; their income is regarded as low for mortgage finance, but too high to qualify for the government \u201cfree-basic-house\u201d subsidy scheme. The subsidy will be used to decrease the mortgage bond and is only applicable to persons who have never been assisted by the state. It will be disbursed as a once off subsidy.<\/p>

                                                The once-off FLISP subsidy amount ranges between R20 000 and R87 000, depending on the applicant\u2019s income. The maximum price of a property that can be financed through FLISP is not limited, but the applicant has to meet the income bracket (R 3501- R 15 0000).<\/p>

                                                Informal Settlement Upgrading Programme<\/strong><\/p>

                                                The programme facilitates the structured upgrading of informal settlements. It applies to in situ upgrading of informal settlements as well as where communities are to be relocated for a variety of reasons. The programme entails extensive community consultation and participation, emergency basic services provision, permanent services provision and security of tenure.<\/p>

                                                Individual Subsidy<\/strong><\/p>

                                                This programme provides access to state assistance where qualifying households wish to acquire an existing house or a vacant serviced residential stand, linked to a house construction contract through an approved mortgage loan. These properties are available in the normal secondary housing market or have been developed, as part of projects not financed through one of the National Housing Programmes.<\/p>

                                                These subsidies are available to individual beneficiaries who wish to buy an existing house or a stand, linked to a house building contract in the market.\u00a0 These subsidies are available on a first come first serve basis and may be credit linked or non-credit linked.<\/p>

                                                Housing Assistance to Military Veterans<\/strong><\/p>

                                                The Departments of Military Veterans and National Department of Human Settlements have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for the implementation of housing assistance to military veterans. In terms of the MOU, the Provincial Department of Human Settlements will build houses to the set specifications in collaboration with the municipality in which the beneficiary lives or intend to live. The Department of Military Veterans is responsible for furnishing the Department of Human Settlements with the list of eligible military veterans and guarantees the genuineness of the military veterans on the list.<\/p>

                                                Social Housing Programme<\/strong><\/p>

                                                A rental or co-operative housing option for low income persons at a level of scale and built form which requires institutionalised management and which is provided by accredited social housing institutions or in accredited social housing projects in designated restructuring zones.<\/p>

                                                An accredited housing institution is defined as a legal entity established with the primary objective of developing and\/or managing housing stock that has been funded through the grant programmes specified in this policy, which institution has been accredited by the designated regulatory body (defined in this policy). The housing stock can be owned by the housing institution, or it can be owned collectively by groups of residents. Housing institutions should not be seen as short-term vehicles for providing housing to a specified market segment, but are seen as robust, sustainable institutions, established to assist in providing the social housing option.<\/p>

                                                Youth Build and Youth Brigade <\/strong><\/p>

                                                The Department of Human Settlements is implementing a youth build programme where youth are skilled in the construction of housing units. The programme was introduced to the Province in 2012, where youth were mobilised to receive training in construction on site with the supervision of the contractor, Department and NHBRC. The programme has been implemented in Sarah Baartman, Nelson Mandela Metro, Amatole District and OR Tambo District Municipalities in previous years.<\/p>

                                                The Department is working in collaboration with the National Department of Human Settlements, National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC), and the hosting Municipality on the programme. The Builds are undertaken to commemorate youth month through engaging activities that empower and expose youth to the sector whilst building housing units for approved needy households and creating a socially cohesive society.<\/p>

                                                The National department of Human Settlements identified a need for a dedicated programme for the participation of youth in human settlements delivery through service. The Human Settlement Youth Empowerment Programme was established in a form of a National Human Settlements Youth Brigade (NHSYB).<\/p>

                                                The main purpose of the Human Settlements Youth Brigade programme is to provide exposure to Human Settlements, training, employment and economic opportunities for young people and the focus is on mostly Mega (Catalytic) projects and the entire value chain so as to instil self-reliance and patriotism \/ national pride. It should be noted however, that in the Eastern Cape the programme is spread across all district municipal areas.<\/p>

                                                The vision of the Youth Brigade is to create a flow of human settlements volunteers, who supports government to accelerate housing delivery by providing support to the entire human settlements value chain while gaining exposure to the sector and related trades and professions.<\/p>

                                                LIMITATION ON THE SALE OF RDP\/BNG HOUSES (PRE-EMPTIVE CLAUSE)<\/p>

                                                It is illegal for the recipient of a subsidy,now referred to as BNG house, to sell the house before they have lived in for a minimum period of eight (8) years. Yet, experience shows that in many instances, the houses are used to make quick money by unscrupulous individuals who sell them within the (8) years period. Alternatively, recipients rent out the houses to be used as business premises, while the beneficiaries return to live in informal settlements.<\/p>

                                                While the minimum occupancy period may be adjusted from time to time, the current limitation is eight (8) years and within this period, a beneficiary may only re-sell the property back to the Eastern Cape Human Settlements. This type of voluntary sale occurs when a beneficiary, for whatever reasons, chooses not to keep the subsidy house.<\/p>

                                                In instance of involuntary sales, the findings are that creditors sell properties at a price which covers the debt owed and, not at a price that reflects the full value of the property \u2013 which is usually greater. Subsequent buyer of the properties mostly.<\/p>

                                                Persons who would not qualify for state housing subsidies.thus , government is aware of this on-going illegal sale of government subsidised houses and is taking steps to enforce the eight (8) year pre-emptive clause. The pre-emptive clause is contained in section 10A and 10B of Housing Act, 107 of 1997,and, limits both the voluntary and involuntary sales of houses obtained by persons via any of the national housing programmes.<\/p>
