More than sixty Paarl residents received their Title deeds for homes in the Drommedaris Housing Project in the Drakenstein Municipality. The Western Cape Human Settlements Minister Bonginkosi Madikizela, along with the Executive Mayor Conrad Poole of Drakenstein Municipality, handed over the title deeds to recipients.
The award winning Drommedaris Housing Project is a mixed development consisting of Breaking New Ground (BNG) units; semi-detached, double-storey and free standing units.
The Department delivered a total of 1567 houses in this project, which forms part of government’s Enhanced Peoples Housing Process (EPHP) programme. The total project costs amounted to more than R130 million. In this housing support programme (ie. EPHP), residents get actively involved and contribute to the building of their homes. One of the Department’s strategic focus areas is to ensure that the most vulnerable are prioritised for government housing support. Elderly Paarl residents were among the recipients prioritised to receive their title deeds.
