DHS FINAL 2025-30  STRATEGIC PLAN 31 MARCH 2025.pdf

Summary

The provided text details the Department of Human Settlements (DHS) Strategic Plan for 2025-2030, which serves as a roadmap for South Africa's final push toward the National Development Plan 2030 goals. It outlines a comprehensive shift from mere housing delivery to creating integrated, sustainable human settlements that redress historical spatial inequalities while addressing modern challenges like climate change and urbanisation. The plan emphasizes intergovernmental coordination and private sector partnerships to maximize impact despite significant budgetary constraints. Key priorities include upgrading informal settlements, expanding social rental housing, and accelerating title deed registration for the poor and vulnerable. Furthermore, the documents establish a legal and policy framework—including the 2024 White Paper—to ensure professional, ethical, and digitally transformed governance. Ultimately, the strategy aims to improve the quality of life for South Africans by providing houses, security, and comfort through inclusive and resilient development.
