Overstrand Municipality started a process of verification of the housing waiting list on 1 November 2018.
“Thus, those in need of government subsidised housing opportunity must ensure all existing information is correct and updated. You can also register as a first time applicant.
“A number of 8 201 applicants were registered on the database on 31 October 2018,” said spokesperson, Riana Steenekamp.
“However, the information of individual beneficiaries may be out-dated, for example changes in income, number of financial dependants, change of address, etc.”
The Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Programme (FLISP) household income limit increased in July 2018 from R15,000 to R22,000 and it therefore creates an opportunity for more citizens to register/verify their information.
Overstrand housing waiting list placed on Provincial Housing demand database
The housing demand for Overstrand Municipality is also placed on the Provincial Housing demand database.
“Therefore, it is of utmost importance and in their own interest that affected citizens co-operate and update their information.
“The project will ultimately also assist with the planning of the future housing projects,” Steenkamp said.
“Residents have until 30 November 2018 to update their information during office hours (08:00 – 16:30) and on Saturdays (09:00-13:00).”
