    If you qualify, the Government may grant you a housing subsidy of between R30 001,08 - R130 504,70. This subsidy is a once-off lump sum payment towards the purchase of your home. Once the bond amount is approved by the Bank, you will have to approach the National Housing Finance Corporation (call 011 644 9800), e-mail FLISP@nhfc.co.za or visit www.nhfc.co.za) for the subsidy, or go to your nearest Provincial Department of Human Settlements. This subsidy can only be used as a deposit or to decrease the loan size. It cannot be used to pay any charges or attorney fees such as transfer and registration costs.
