FLISP (AFFORDABLE HOUSING)

THE PROCESS

Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Program (FLISP) is specifically intended for the market segment whose income is inadequate to
qualify for a home loan but exceeds the maximum limit applicable to access Government’s ‘free basic house’ subsidy scheme.

This market segment, generally known as the affordable or gap market, earns between R3 501 and R22 000 per month. Buyers falling into this bracket, if buying a home for the first time, may apply for a
FLISP subsidy.
