NASHO Response to Draft White Paper for Human Settlements

The National Association of Social Housing Organisations (NASHO) has submitted comprehensive comments on the draft Human Settlements White Paper, emphasizing the critical role of the social housing sector. NASHO’s recommendations focus on enhancing the regulatory framework, increasing funding, and fostering collaboration between the government, social housing institutions, and the private sector. Our submission highlights the importance of social housing in sustainable urban development and proposes solutions to address challenges such as financial sustainability, land availability, and capacity building.

NASHO advocates for policies that promote inclusivity and social integration, aiming to create vibrant, mixed-income communities. We stress the importance of ongoing stakeholder engagement in the policy development process to ensure a holistic and inclusive vision for the future of human settlements in South Africa.
