The impact of housing finance policies on the right to adequate housing of those living in poverty 2012, para. 44
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Habitability, location and accessibility problems have led South Africa to alter its subsidy programme and increase Government intervention. Under the Breaking New Ground subsidy implemented beginning in 2004, supply-side components were included in an attempt to mitigate the adverse impact on subsidy housing habitability and location that unfolded during the first stage; in 2005 the Government announced that land would be funded outside the housing subsidy amount, and then in 2007 that services would also be additional, funded directly by municipalities.
