Backyard housing: An essential part of the solution to South Africa’s housing crisis (animation)

The Isandla Institute, with support from a number of civil society partners, has produced a joint civil society submission that addresses four key areas of intervention believed to start addressing some of the significant challenges facing the backyard housing market. These key areas include access to basic services for backyard residents living on both public and private land; tenure (in)security for both landlords and backyard residents; enabling the right to self-build as an integral part of the right of access to housing; and, the importance of promoting safe neighbourhoods through an area-based violence prevention approach. For more details, see the animation here and the civil society submission here.
