South Africa’s housing shortfall stands at approximately 2 million homes. At the same time, the country needs sustainable job creation as well as transformation. The social housing industry has the potential to contribute by supporting new and upcoming social housing institutions (SHIs) and helping them roll out new social housing developments. In light of this, the Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA) has implemented new measures which will assist and support the new SHIs to enter the market, equipped with the right skills. “There are many opportunities for people in the social housing sector. With the SHRA’s new Compliance Accreditation & Regulations operational framework, we are creating a more supportive, enabling and inclusive accreditation process for SHIs,” explains Dewalt Koekemoer, Acting CEO of the SHRA.
