National Housing Finance plays a key role in expanding access to affordable housing and in supporting the development of sustainable human settlements across South Africa and the continent. By targeting the low-to-middle income market, it helps make quality housing more accessible to thousands of households while also contributing to long-term community development.
Through innovative financing solutions, it addresses the housing backlog, improves living conditions, and drives inclusive community development, ultimately strengthening the foundation of human settlements throughout Africa.

The NHFC is a state-owned entity in the human settlements sector, supporting housing delivery through the provision of affordable housing finance. The organisation has been in existence since 1996, operating on a national level, providing wholesale funding to the affordable housing market. Our funding focus has primarily been social housing institutions, non-banking retail intermediaries, privately owned property developers, construction companies, and investors. The secondary focus had been loan origination and other forms of wholesale funding (equity and quasi-equity) that was made available to intermediaries that operate within the affordable housing market sector. With the merger of RHLF and NURCHA into NHFC, our mandate has since expanded to include rural housing as well as supplying bridging finance to developers and construction companies in the subsidy housing market.
