HUNDREDS OF CALA LOW-COST HOUSING BENEFICIARIES TO RECEIVE FULL HOME OWNERSHIP<\/p>\n
A total of 1256 Cala residents will legally own their government subsidised houses when Human Settlements MEC, Siphokazi Lusithi, hands over their title deeds in Sakhisizwe Local Municipality on 08 September 2023. This is one of the Department\u2019s priorities to ensure that sustainable housing is realised, and dignity is restored for the destitute and vulnerable. <\/p>\n
All the recipients benefited from the Cala Ext 13, 14 and15 Project, a housing development for the many impoverished families in the local municipality. <\/p>\n
The Department has put interventions to address some of the challenges faced and fast-tracking the delivery of title deeds. MEC Lusithi has embarked on a campaign to address the backlog and thus ensuring access to adequate housing and full homeownership.<\/p>\n
The Department together with the local municipality, have undertaken a verification process to ensure the rightful beneficiaries receive their title deeds. <\/p>\n
On the day, MEC Lusithi will visit some of the elderly beneficiaries and those living with disabilities in their homes to handover their title deeds. This will be followed by a community engagement and handing over ceremony. <\/p>\n
