Overview

The Department of Housing is in the business of housing development to serve the community of Gauteng . We are governed by values that seek to build sustainable communities. We stand for quality service. We work toward the provision of variety of tenure where members of various communities will have access to affordable housing within targeted precincts and communities

We are prepared to go into this period with vigor and energy based on work that we have done currently and in the past. Since the introduction and implementation of the Breaking new Ground Strategy, the Gauteng Department of housing has made great strides in ensuring that we have targeted projects in all the regions of the province where the strategy will be realized in full. We are proud to say without any fear of contraction that Gauteng is on the right path to implement the BNG Strategy which will user us into 2014 and where the face of Gauteng would have changed for the better. We have made our own analysis over the past three years and we are confident that plans contained in our housing development strategy as approved by the Executive Council are correct and in support of the key priorities
