Department has R532m available for2005/06 (R456m grant + R76m N2 ring fenced funds) R180m spent April to September 7,008 houses were built and 10,477 sites
serviced by end September. Expenditure is in line with projections to end

B: EXPENDITURE REVIEW B: EXPENDITURE REVIEW 2001/02 – 2007/08 2001/02 – 2007/08
TRENDS 1994 to 2005 :
Houses built & under construction - 1994 – 1999 : 103,730 Houses built & under construction - 1999 – 2004 : 89,090 - 2004/05 : 16,965 sites were serviced, 15,921
houses provided. R511m spent. More than of 200,000 houses have been
provided in the Western Cape since 1994
Trends continuedTrends continued In 2001 there was a shift towards a higher quality
product at an increased unit cost In 1994 the unit cost for allowed for in the
subsidy was R12,500. The current unit cost is almost R40,000. The unit cost has trebled since 1994
Over the same period the Housing grant to the Western Cape has less than doubled, from R283m in 1994 to R456m in 2005/06
It is therefore clear that a lower number of units are able to be produced currently due to the conditional grant not keeping pace with inflation and the improved specifications required.
New policy frameworkNew policy framework Integrated housing and human settlement
development grant introduced in 2005/06 Paradigm shift, introducing innovative new
programmes which allow for varied forms of tenure. Unfortunately all new programmes need to be funded from the same grant
Number and quality of houses built will remain the primary indicator of performance, but is not the only output that will be measured in future. This will more accurately reflect the more varied nature of housing delivery options now available
Greatest challenge – housing delivery is being held back by insufficient funding
C : BUDGET PLANNINGC : BUDGET PLANNING
300,000 + Western Cape backlog – Approximately 15,000 units p/a can be built within R456m allocation
Funds allocated according to needs survey in Provincial Housing Plan
Municipal need as % of Provincial need determines funds allocation
Expenditure monitored per municipality
Management of housing grant involves the following :

Municipal capacity – Project managers appointed to assist in delivery. Capacity building programmes to up-skill staff
Planning greatly improved – Project managers and task teams within municipalities will improve this further
Response to challengesResponse to challenges
To alleviate the holding back of projects to the beginning of the financial year, the Western Cape has an approach of approving projects in phases, per financial year.
Increasing the quantum of the grant, to allow more than 15,000 houses to be built per annum, needs to be taken up at national level
Innovative ways to leverage more funding for housing are being explored.
