The province reported that it was not doing well on the rental stock; however, it has signed an implementation protocol with SHRA. The affordable rental Housing Programme was one of the initiatives towards the eradication of housing backlog, providing rental housing opportunities for low income persons who cannot be accommodated in the formal private rental market. The department had a target of 20 000 units per annum over a four year period (contribution towards Outcome 8) and the two rental housing programmes have been introduced in the form of Community Residential Units and Social Housing. There were 100 community residential units that were under construction in the City of Tlokwe Local Municipality. Those units were scheduled for completion by July 2012.
