THE City of Cape Town are calling on mense to apply for the title deeds of their council homes.
The City’s housing department are going across the metro, helping people become homeowners.
Mayco Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Carl Pophaim says: “The City is working hard to create more homeowners by handing out deeds, providing security of tenure and adding to financial stability.
“Residents are encouraged to visit our roadshows when we are in their area to see if the title deed for their property is on the list of available deeds.
“Claiming the deed will formalise ownership and give security of tenure.
"Our roadshows are an opportunity for residents to interact directly with Human Settlements officials who are available to offer real time solutions to queries and answers to questions.
“All Departments are available at our roadshow events and are able to provide information on a number of matters including title deeds and the housing needs register, C3 notifications and tenancy management issues, information about specific projects and affordable housing information, and informal settlements across the metro.
“We are serious about attending to residents’ matters in their area and bringing services closer to them.
If you or a family member is a beneficiary of a City unit without a title deed, contact the Housing Needs Register.
