Special Needs Group Housing


Special Needs Housing has been a major focus for PPT since 2002. PPT has played a significant role at both the project and policy levels over this period. This programme focuses on the provision of group housing (shelter and associated care) for a range of special needs beneficiaries such as orphans and vulnerable children, the chronically ill, those with disabilities and victims of domestic abuse.

PPT has played an extensive role in advocating for and developing a new national policy for addressing special housing needs and developing related implementation guidelines. This drew extensively on the SNH preparation methodologies and scopes of work developed by PPT dating back to 2002.

PPT has also assisted large numbers of welfare organisations (NPOs) at grassroots level to prepare projects and access capital funding for facilities in the form of special housing subsidies (for acquisitions, new builds or renovations). Projects have historically been located mainly in KwaZulu Natal, Eastern Cape and Gauteng but with some involvement in the Western Cape.
