About JOSHCO

What is the business of JOSHCO?

JOSHCO’s sole purpose is to provide affordable and quality rental housing to the people of Johannesburg funded through provincial
subsidies, national and municipal grant funding as well as loan funding. JOSHCO caters predominantly for individuals earning a household income between R1 500 – R7 500 per month.

What services does JOSHCO provide?

JOSHCO performs two principal functions. Firstly, it acts as a developer; by appointing contractors and professionals to build
suitable housing. Before construction takes place, JOSHCO ensures that suitable land is obtained and that the necessary finances are secured, either through grant funding or low interest bearing loans. JOSHCO also refurbishes existing properties such as hostels and buildings within the Inner City.

Secondly, JOSHCO manages newly constructed rental housing stock as well as existing housing properties acquired from the City of Johannesburg. Management of properties means that JOSHCO selects, allocates and trains suitable tenants for occupation, ensures collection of rentals, conducts regular property maintenance and ensures that customers receive a good and reliable service.
