HDA Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT 2023/24 Progress towards Achievement of Institutional Impacts and Outcomes

The HDA has recorded an overall organisational performance of 91% for the 2023/24 financial year, based on predetermined objectives, reflecting a significant increase from the previous year’s performance of 74%. This improvement is attributed to a sustained emphasis on the six strategic pillars essential for the organisation’s turnaround: mandate, sustainability, governance, people and structure, and perception management. During the review period, the HDA successfully acquired 316.2926 hectares of well-located land within Priority Development Areas (PDAs) and an additional 1617.5248 hectares for human settlements. Moreover, 14 development plans for PDAs within the 136 declared PDAs have been finalised. The HDA continues to promote its objectives in spatial transformation, aiming to enhance participation from both the public and private sectors. The HDA remains committed to fostering transformation through its procurement practices, having exceeded its targets for spending allocated to designated groups. The agency achieved 49% for women, 36% for youth, and 7% for individuals living with disabilities in the year under review. The HDA believes that marginalised designated groups should be afforded opportunities to engage in the construction sector, where skills development and job creation can address the priorities of the seventh government administration. In collaboration with

the National Skills Fund, the HDA will implement a programme designed to transform the human settlements sector by offering skills training, business development, and access to job opportunities and market connections.

The HDA has recorded an overall organisational performance of 91% for the 2023/24 financial year, based on predetermined objectives.

Additionally, the HDA has successfully delivered 1,300 housing units and surpassed the target of 1,236 serviced sites by delivering 2,142 serviced sites. The recent floods in KwaZulu-Natal displaced many households and the HDA continues to provide shelter and relief facilities for the affected households of this disaster. The helpdesk support provided by the HDA has managed to expedite the registration and allocation of title deeds to beneficiaries through the Title Deed Restoration Programme that is being implemented in Western Cape and Limpopo provinces.
