Who We Are

Our Roots

Gearing For Sustainable Social Restructuring

FCI Community Housing Services t/a FCI CHS is a registered Section 21 non-profit organization established in July 2012.

Our institution was specifically created to act as a robust developmental and management vehicle to access state housing subsidies for the creation of rental and gap housing in the Western Cape and across South Africa.

We develop premium-quality, well-located affordable housing accommodation close to primary employment hubs, mass transport corridors, quality schools, and essential social infrastructure. Our core goal is to bridge the massive housing gap for low-to-medium income families who are excluded from the formal private credit and housing markets, specifically including:

  • Families with special needs, particularly disabled citizens
  • Young adults and single earners with a steady formal income
  • Single parent households facing urban exclusion
