The Interim Social Housing Programme (ISHP) has been in existence since 2006 when the National Department of Housing (NDoH) confirmed the SHF to be the implementing agent to manage/oversee the allocation and disbursement of the Restructuring Capital Grant (RCG) until the Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA) was established. It was designed as an interim pilot programme and has far exceeded in the delivery of its mandate. Over a period of four years (2006-2010), there have been three funding cycles. This has ensured that the social housing sector in South Africa is motivated and both willing and able to deliver at scale immediately.

ISHP 1
This initial programme started in 2007 and comprised four projects: Lyndar House, Umkumbaan and Hilary in Durban; Signal Hill in Pietermaritzburg; and Joe Slovo in Cape Town. The three SHIs awarded grants  were SOHCO Amalinda Housing, Msunduzi Housing Association and Thubelisha.

ISHP 2
This programme started in 2008 and comprised four projects: Emerald Sky in East London, Steenberg in Cape Town, City Deep in Johannesburg, and Roodepoort Inner City in Roodepoort. The two SHIs awarded grants were SOHCO Amalinda Housing and the Johannesburg Social Housing Company (JOSHCO).

ISHP 3
This programme started in 2009, and was more ambitious than the other two in that it comprises nine projects managed by four SHIs. Drommedaris in Cape Town; Tau Village in Pretoria; Three City Blocks, Strathdon, Howell Heights, and Lakehaven in Durban; Reservoir Mews and Southernwood Square in East London; and Park Towers in Port Elizabeth. The SHIs awarded grants were Communicare, Yeast City Housing, First Metro Housing Company, and Own Haven Housing Association.
