April 2024 marks the end of having men and women in construction outfits, scuffle holdings and heavy earth moving equipment at Townlands Social Housing project, with this end of an era, a new journey begins. The launch of Townlands Social Housing marks a significant milestone in addressing housing needs in Tshwane. It symbolizes the City’s commitment to providing affordable and safe housing for its residents, fostering social inclusion, and reducing homelessness. This endeavour is witnessed in the allocation of 664 units to approved applicants thus far, with an average of 3 family members per unit.

With a total of 1200 units, this makes Townlands Social Housing the biggest social housing project in the country, and on the grounds of this, we’re beaming with pride.

This achievement underscores our belief in the right to shelter and our dedication to fostering inclusive communities where everyone can thrive regardless of their gender and race. The completion of Townlands Social Housing project reflects the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders, including government agencies, developers, communities, and residents, working together to create sustainable and equitable living spaces.

With each brick laid, and each family housed, we reaffirm our belief in the power of community, solidarity, and social justice. Together, we’re building hope and opportunity for a brighter future for all.
