15 June 2022 - NW1819
Siwisa, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Human Settlements
What criteria will be used to identify families who have been affected and lost their homes in floods in KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape in order for them to be prioritised for housing allocation?
Reply:
Below is the prioritization approach that will be used by the KwaZulu- Natal and Eastern Cape Provinces in response to the recent disasters:
- Families with deceased members living in shelters/mass care centers;
- Families in shelters with nowhere to go;
- The elderly and vulnerable groups;
- Families that have land but no shelter;
