Under R3,500 per month?

You may qualify for RDP / BNG housing. Register on the National Housing Needs Register (NHNR) at your local municipality.

No upfront fees

FLISP and RDP applications are 100% free. Anyone asking for a payment to "secure" your subsidy is running a scam.

Bank-linked FLISP

The major banks can submit FLISP on your behalf when you apply for a home loan. Ask your bank before starting your own application.
