JOSHCO does not do individual subsidy but institutionalised subsidies through SHRA, with the aim to service certain groups of individuals. When one applies for someone else is called subletting when this happen, the tenant will be given notice to vacate.



Institutionalised subsidy- is the money paid by government to ensure affordable rental.

JOSHCO (Johannesburg Social Housing Company) was formed by the City of Johannesburg in 2004 to provide affordable social housing to families who would otherwise be unable to afford a home. Thirteen years later, JOSHCO is continuing to change lives. South African citizens earning between R3500 and R7500 are in a difficult position when it comes to housing. Those in this income bracket earn too much to qualify for free housing under the RDP scheme, but not enough to qualify for a bond or mortgage. JOSHCO was created as a solution to this problem, and has been providing quality, affordable social housing to its tenants for the past thirteen years
