  16. Conditional grant allocation per subsidy instrument

  17. BUDGETARY COMMENTS (1) • The annual growth rate in equitable share funding (2006/07-2010/11) has been 6.8% while that of the conditional grant funding grew annually by 29% . • The equitable share budget of the Department was further cut by (4.2%) over the 2009/10 MTEF period. • A further cut of R9m effected in both 2010/11 and 2011/12 – this being a first charge prior years over-expenditure of R18m. • Of the Department’s operational budget R173m (68%) is committed to personnel expenditure.

  18. BUDGETARY COMMENTS (2) • Capacity challenges within the Department may not be addressed, unless other funding avenues are explored. • Department has had to stop/delay implementation of a number of programmes (stakeholder capacity building programmes) due to financial constraints within the Province/Department. • Allocation per subsidy instrument informed by the priority programmes of the department. • This makes it extremely difficult for the Province to be able to service its conditional grant and therefore Operational Capital Budget Programme (OPSCAP) policy is being reviewed to allow more flexibility in allowing provinces to use it to support conditional grant spending.

  19. SERVICE DELIVERY TARGETS 19

  20. Alignment of Service Delivery Targets with other departmental plans. • The Service Delivery Targets presented have been aligned with the final 2010/11 Conditional Grant Business Plan as well as the Multi-Year Housing Development Plan (APP) of the Department. • The SDI contained in the Budget Statements for the 2010/11 MTEF is based on the second draft conditional grant business plan and MYHDP and are therefore not aligned with the final plans as result of the following: • Misalignment of planning processes between the National Department of Human Settlements and that of the Treasury. • Late additional budget allocation. • Late finalization of the subsidy quantum at the National level. • Provincial Treasury is aware of this misalignment which will be adjusted in the 2010/11 Adjustments Estimate. 20

  26. Middle-income Property Market Intervention • The Department has signed Memoranda of Understanding with the following Financial Institutions: • ABSA in 2007 • FNB in 2009 and • Standard Bank in 2010 • Currently the Department is finalising Finance Linked Individual Subsidies with ABSA for 48 individuals amounting to R 903 999.00, and with FNB for 136 individuals amounting to R 2 380 107.00 • Going forward, the Department envisages signing the MOU with Nedbank this year. Nedbank is financing part of a Project  in Empangeni  called Imbali Ingwelezane with 150 units reserved for the middle income group. FNB is also involved in this project and is financing 500 units in the middle income bracket. 26

  27. Middle-income Property Market Intervention (2) • FNB has further confirmed the following projects: • A project in Umgungundlovu which has 1200 units reserved for the middle income group; • An integrated housing project in Hayfields in the Msunduzi Municipality comprising of 5000 units; • A project in Thornhill comprising of 2000 affordable housing units; • A project in Driefontein comprising approximately 6000 affordable housing units; • A project in Mbozamo comprising approximately 425 affordable housing units; • A project in Kwadukuza comprising approximately 2500 affordable housing units; • A project in Umhlatuze comprising approximately 450 affordable housing units; 27

  28. Middle-income Property Market Intervention (3) • Standard Bank has recently launched the Woodmead project which is a fully integrated project, of which 40% is reserved for the middle income bracket. In addition, there is a project planned in Sunnyside Park, Amanzimtoti, consisting of 1100 units, of which 40% will be reserved for the middle income bracket. Standard Bank has also been appointed by Ethekwini Municipality to develop affordable housing on 3 land parcels in Kwa Mashu consisting of 2500 units and 4 land parcels in Chatsworth.  • The Department will partner with the financial institutions to ensure that the planned projects are successfully executed for the affordable housing market in line with the President's programme to assist this market with the National Guarantee Fund.  28

  29. KEY ASSUMPTIONS The key assumptions that underpin the plans of the Department are summarised below: • The budget and service delivery indicators are based on a subsidy for a minimum of a 40m2 house for new projects (i.e. projects approved from the 2007/08 financial year onward); • The National Housing Development Agency which will assist the department in dealing with the challenges relating to the availability of suitable land for housing development; • Adequate funding will be made in order to meet the 2014 clearance of slums target from within the baseline; • Human resource is the key component to achieve the desired outcomes of the Department. As a result, there is a need to budget sufficiently for personnel in terms of the newly approved structure, which takes into consideration the added responsibilities of the ‘Breaking New Ground’ (BNG) concept in housing and inflationary wage adjustments; and • Funding for the bulk infrastructure and basic internal services will be made available within the baseline (where required). 29
