  4. Mission The NHFC seeks to create housing opportunities for the low and moderate income families by: • Funding or Underwriting the funding of intermediaries and institutions to promote broader access to housing and housing finance • Facilitate the building of Adequate and Sustainable capacity within the organisations and institutions that it funds • Partnering organisations and institutions to deliver innovative housing finance solution options

  7. NHFC Primary Responsibilities… • Stimulate the Primary and the Secondary market in the low and moderate income housing sector • Undertake the funding as a wholesale intermediary and act as a fund manager • Specialise in identifying, assessing, pricing, monitoring and managing the risks associated with the placement of funds • Promote Alternative forms of tenure • Partner with established institutions in providing innovative housing finance solution options • Successfully implement the Presidential Job Summit Housing Pilot Project

  8. NHFC Secondary Responsibilities… • Research and Product development • Improve Access to housing finance • Build / Support housing finance capacity • Specialise – Develop, align and implement credit and other standards in the LIH (unique sector – appropriate standards) • Pilot funding programs that would improve the performance of the sector

  9. Implications for the NHFC • Sustainability of both Niche / Retail Lenders and Housing Institutions – Capitalisation and Capacity Building Issues • Facilitate entry of the private sector into the LIH – Risk-enhancement mechanisms • Raise additional Capital from the markets – Cost of Funding of the Corporation • Effective linkage of subsidies to housing programmes – Subsidies, Savings, Equity and Credit to deliver better affordability levels and draw developers to this market • Diverse and highly skilled work force

  10. NHFC’s Performance… Primary Market Stimulation : Since Inception • Increased access to housing through micro-finance products • Created capacity of alternative / niche lenders in the LIH sector – 25 new intermediaries • Solely funded ALL housing institutions that have delivered high quality stock in most areas – GGICHC, HAEL, GMHA, CTCHC, etc. • In 1999, established Gateway Home Loans to deliver home ownership at scale using the secondary market process Now… • Continues to stimulate the primary market by improving liquidity and supporting capacity building the sector

  11. NHFC’s Performance… Partnership : Since Inception • No sustained partnership in place as yet • Lessons about partnership : • High risk perceptions – leading to PPP that would be based on : • No risk-sharing – 100% guarantees • No value for money

  12. Undertaking Wholesale Funding… NHFC’s Performance…

  13. NHFC Housing Impact – TO-DATE NHFC’s Performance…

  14. Challenges… Environmental… • Successfully attracting the private sector is a challenge – risk-sharing • Integration and co-ordination within the housing sector • Integrating capacity across government institutions e.g. SMME, Infrastructure • Integrated support of financing initiatives of government • The primary market in this is highly dysfunctional

  15. Challenges… NHFC Specific… • Demise of small banks – potential to deliver in this market – Saambou, FBC, etc. • Market consolidation results into loss of capacity – Cashbank • Inadequate capacity of alternative lenders to take-over the gap created and be responsible custodians of the monies channeled thru them • Tendency to “dump” housing stock • The housing back-log keeps on increasing, yet there is inadequate capacity to do deliver • Accelerated delivery on the Job Summit

  16. Budget Highlights… Priorities of the Corporation… • Prudently, grow the lending business of the Corporation and thus improve on its housing delivery impact • Continuously enhance the Corporation’s Risk Management capacity and competency • Attain accelerated delivery on the Job Summit Pilot Project • Effectively implement the Corporations processes and systems – Drive Speed, Flexibility and Impact • Focus on the need to challenge, develop and retain the best people in the Corporation • Improve the Corporations Marketing and Communication with all its Stakeholders

  17. Budget Overview 2002/5 • Deliver housing finance to a cumulative total of 334,000 households (of which 30,500 new and 7,500 existing houses) in most provinces; • Facilitate the building of capacity in the housing and housing finance sector by supporting 11 new and emerging housing finance intermediaries and housing institutions; • Change the housing finance environment through promoting new loan products, relevant delivery channels, supporting appropriate regulatory & policy frameworks and new housing options.
