Gauteng Human Settlements spent 97% of its budget but missed 31% of its performance targets in 2025/26, despite exceeding its housing delivery target. Delayed housing projects and thousands of outstanding title deeds remain a concern.
The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements spent 97% of its budget during the 2025/26 financial year, but only managed to meet 69% of its performance targets.

The department completed 7,976 housing units against a target of 7,503, created 4,700 work opportunities, and resolved 3,740 rental housing disputes, while also purchasing 273 hectares for land acquisition, exceeding its target of 200 hectares.
