Grant to Headstart to establish a revolving fund to finance the construction of affordable housing for black South Africans in desirable inner city neighborhoods in Cape Town. Such a financing facility is needed in the continuing absence of an affirmative policy of lending to low-income black South Africans by the country's building societies. Headstart is a Section 21 company established in 1989 for the purpose of developing model "infill" housing alternatives. Headstart has acquired two inner city locations -- known as Dublin Street and Devon Street -- in the Woodstock neighborhood which could accommodate low cost, medium-rise residential units, and will use the revolving fund to construct approximately 100 units. Headstart plans to introduce a variety of innovations (in the South African context), including modular construction and a "sites and services" approach, in which buyers undertake most interior finishing. Construction costs will be recovered from sales to black South African clients and will be recycled to the fund for use in future projects, of which Headstart has already identified more than ten.
