Service Delivery Environment The South African Constitution of 1996 enshrines the right of everyone to have access to adequate housing and makes it incumbent upon the State to take reasonable legislative and other measures within its available resources to achieve the progressive realisation of this right. In response to this Constitutional imperative, the government has in terms of the Housing Act, 1997 (Act No 107 of 1997) introduced a variety of programmes that provide poor households access to adequate housing (National Housing Code, 2009). Insufficient delivery by the public sector to meet the growing demand due a number challenges and blockages hampering delivery Declining contribution to supply by the private sector caused by a number of factors inhibiting scaling up delivery. The continued location of housing projects on the periphery of cities marginalises the poor in terms of transport and access to work opportunities and social services. An untransformed human settlements sector in terms of black industrialists with a specific focus on women, youth, and persons living • • • The human settlements sector faces persistent challenges such as: •

with disabilities

• • Insufficient bulk and link infrastructure. Procurement and management delays in provinces and municipalities. Lack of adequate monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. As an entity of the NDoH, the HDA has a responsibility congruent to that of the government to change the lives of South Africans for the better. In furtherance of this, the Agency contributes to Priority 5 of the MTSF on spatial integration, human settlements, and local government. The impact expected of this priority area is to achieve spatial transformation through improved, integrated human settlement development and linking job opportunities and housing opportunities. It is for this reason that the HDA’s mission focuses inter alia on the following: • Accelerated delivery of spatially transformed integrated and sustainable human settlements. Providing security of tenure and asset wealth. Transforming the human settlements sector to be inclusive of the country’s demographic profile with a special focus on the marginalised sectors of women, youth, and persons living with disabilities. • • •
