The Johannesburg Social Housing Company (JOSHCO) will open applications for the Riverside View Phase 4 Social Housing Development on 12 June 2026. The opening follows extensive preparations and quality assurance processes undertaken to ensure the project is ready for a smooth and transparent allocation process.

To ensure residents are fully informed and prepared, JOSHCO will host two public engagement sessions for residents of Region A ahead of the application opening date. These sessions will provide detailed information on:

• ​The application process
• Qualifying criteria
• Required supporting documentation
• Digital application procedures
• Assistance available to applicants

 Public Engagement Details at Riverside Square, behind Riverside Shopping Centre

Session 1
 Date: 7 June 2026

• Time: 09h00 – 11h00

Session 2

• ​Date: 9 June 2026
• Time: 17h00

Applications for Riverside View Phase 4 will be conducted through a secure digital system using a QR code. Applicants who may require assistance with the digital process will be supported by JOSHCO officials on site.

Residents are encouraged to attend the public engagements to familiarise themselves with the process before applications open.

The application process is completely free of charge. No person can guarantee housing allocation in exchange for money. Residents are strongly urged to remain vigilant against individuals, groups, or online platforms falsely claiming to represent JOSHCO and requesting payment in exchange for housing allocation, preferential treatment, or queue-jumping services.

The official application QR code will be communicated only through JOSHCO's verified communication platforms.
