CTCHC is not driven by projects which offer the largest amount of units, but rather trying to plan and develop integrated settlements that include all the necessary land uses, house typologies and household income categories, in order to become truly integrated communities. CTCHC therefore supports and implements the Western Cape’s Sustainable Human Settlement Strategy on integrated housing, Isidima—dignity.

CTCHC also delivers and supports the development of Social Housing and is one of three formal Social Housing Partners of the City of Cape Town. We are committed to taking part in all appropriate skills and social upliftment programs set up by government and other institutions.
