# The Western Cape Government has completed housing market studies for seven municipalities. These include Swartland, Saldanha Bay, and Knysna, as part of its second phase of research. The studies highlight severe affordability challenges, particularly in lower-income and entry-level housing segments, with demand far exceeding supply. Findings will guide targeted, evidence-based responses such as inclusionary housing policies and affordable housing strategies. A final phase in 2025/26 will update earlier studies and produce a consolidated report to improve affordable housing delivery.
