The Department of Human Settlements (DHS) in South Africa is on a mission to reshape our nation's landscapes, aiming to rectify social and racial exclusion patterns that have their roots in the apartheid era. Through the construction of sustainable human settlements, the DHS is dedicated to elevating the quality of life for all South African households. The department supervises various entities including the Housing Development Agency and the National Home Builders Registration Council, working synergistically to bring about transformative change in our communities.
