Hanover Park Backyard households have received water and sanitation services thanks to an initiative by the City of Cape Town’s human settlements directorate.
The programme is made available to those living on City-owned property in Hanover Park and surrounds. The City assists with the provision of one-on-one water, concrete toilet structures, washing basins and water dispensing systems, refuse and electricity where feasible.
“While hard work continues to assist as many backyard residents residing on City property with basic services as possible, we encourage all backyard residents to register and to update their details on the City Housing Needs Register for affordable housing opportunities in the metro. There is typically a low registration rate for backyard dwellers who are a very vulnerable grouping,” says Mayco member for human settlements, Carl Pophaim.
Beneficiaries of all City housing projects are allocated in accordance with its allocation policy and the date of registration.
