About The Johannesburg Housing Company
The Johannesburg Housing Company (JHC) was conceived at the dawn of South Africa’s democracy. Launched in 1995 into a city in a state of enormous transitional flux, and against the conventional wisdom of the day, JHC has led a pioneering path in the development of social housing in the Johannesburg inner city – and at a national level.
It has made a marked impact on urban regeneration, breaking down the apartheid barriers that for so long had excluded so many, creating the space for new residential communities, and making Johannesburg an inclusive city.
JHC’s values listed in logical order are: Commitment, Teamwork, Excellence and Sustainability. We understand the need for Commitment and Teamwork to achieve Excellence and the need for Excellence to achieve Sustainability.
