Guidelines to apply the integrated housing needs system to allocate houses in the Mpumalanga province, South Africa

Mpumalanga Provincial Department of Human Settlements in partnership with the
National Department of Human Settlements has launched a new integrated system
known as the Housing Needs Register (HNR) to manage potential housing
beneficiaries. This study was aimed at refining the integrated system in terms of
providing guidelines and processes in the allocation of affordable houses.
A total of 88 878 records captured on the HNR were profiled, and the results show that
in approximately 86% of the records, family factors and better economic circumstances
were given as the main motivation towards a desire to own a house in a particular area
of residence. These findings emphasized the importance of understanding
beneficiaries’ needs with regard to housing. Providing guidelines in the application of
this knowledge in a fair and consistent manner could assist in curtailing the spread of
informal selling or demolishing of state subsidized houses and other forms of corruption. / Public Health / M.A. (Public Health)
