Johannesburg is a city full of energy and opportunities, and the Johannesburg Social Housing Company (JOSHCO) is proud to be part of the City of Johannesburg’s incredible journey to improve the lives of tenant communities. For 20 years, JOSHCO has redefined affordable living in Joburg, moving from basic low-cost housing to creating modern, affordable, and well-thought homes that elevate everyday life.
JOSHCO offers affordable rental accommodation designed to enhance residents’ quality of life with a host of essential and thoughtfully curated amenities. Our properties provide 24-hour security to ensure safety and peace of mind, with features like biometric access control adding an extra layer of protection and convenience. For entertainment, DSTV connections are available, allowing residents to enjoy their favourite shows and programs without hassle. Green spaces and playgrounds are integral to our developments, offering children a safe environment to play and grow while giving families and neighbors a place to gather, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. Community gardens provide a shared space for residents to connect with nature, engage in gardening, and foster a sense of togetherness. “We design our properties to meet the needs of students, young professionals, and families,” says Acting CEO Nokwazi Mtshali.
JOSHCO developments are strategically located near schools, places of worship, healthcare facilities, shopping centers, and public transport nodes. This thoughtful planning ensures that residents have everything they need close by, from education and healthcare to shopping and commuting options.
Beyond the amenities, our mission at JOSHCO is to create homes that do more than just provide shelter. “We believe that a home is more than brick and mortar; it’s about being connected to a vibrant community and having access to opportunities,” adds Mtshali. By placing amenities and essential services within reach, JOSHCO ensures that our residents are supported in every aspect of their daily lives, making our housing not just a place to live but a thriving and welcoming community. From Lufhereng in Region D, all the way to Riverside in Region A, JOSHCO’s growth has matched Johannesburg’s own transformation. What began as a solution to the housing crisis has become a collection of beautiful, sustainable homes that embody the city’s spirit. We care for the environment too, integrating solar energy and water-saving technologies to protect our planet and reduce costs for our residents.
“JOSHCO, is dedicated to building homes that reflect the dreams and needs of our residents, our projects are designed to make people feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home – building thriving communities for everyone.” adds Mtshali.
JOSHCO is here to ensure that residents have access to homes that reflect the city’s dynamic spirit. We are excited to be part of Johannesburg’s incredible future, working to make life more convenient, connected, and fulfilling. And as the city evolves, JOSHCO will keep creating places where dreams come to life!
