New small-scale rental strategy promises to improve supply of affordable housing

2010

A project undertaken by the Social Housing Foundation (SHF) and Urban LandMark aims to provide greater understanding of, and exposure to, the small private dwelling rental (or small-scale rental) market within South Africa's human settlements framework.

The official launch of the final strategy document took place on 11 February 2010 in Johannesburg.

The study involved a range of representatives from provincial government and civil society and is the most comprehensive attempt yet to engage with the small-scale rental sector in South Africa.
