Housing development Yeast City Housing continues to identify possibilities for new housing development in the inner city, through Greenfield development, refurbishment or conversion of buildings and offices for residential uses. It wants to develop housing in response to unnecessary dislocation of people that are sometimes caused by so-called urban renewal processes.
Housing Information A housing information desk provides information and advise on how to access various affordable housing options and housing subsidies, as well as information on housing policy, rights and responsibilities. This all happens at our walk-in office in Burgers Park Lane.
Community Empowerment YCH wants to support its tenant community through linkages to other social support services and empowerment programmes. It also wants to ensure that low income housing and social housing in the inner city is on the agenda of relevant role players—local and provincial government, financial institutional, etc—through an active advocacy programme. In conjunction with its partners it advocates inner city residential opportunities for those previously excluded and without access. This is done through local community forums, participation in discussions on urban renewal, and so forth. |
