A Bizcommunity.com publication of “Cape Town's homeless eviction ruling: Struggle between rights and safety”, an article by Bukhobethu Matyeni. In the City of Cape Town v Various Occupiers and Another [2024], handed down on 18 June 2024, concerns the rights of some of the most vulnerable people in our society – people living on the pavements of the city centre in Cape Town. The City of Cape Town (the City) sought an eviction order in terms of the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act 19 of 1998 (PIE) to evict 272 homeless individuals (the Occupiers) residing on seven sites located within Cape Town. The City, as the legal owner of all the sites in question, argued that the sites are not fit for human habitation. The City submitted that the sites are adjacent to busy roads thereby posing significant safety risks. There is no access to water, sanitation, or electricity and the structures – often tents or makeshift shelters made of plastic and cardboard – are unsuitable for long-term living, providing limited protection and little security.

In Lowndes County, AL, some houses are not connected to wastewater systems, and this has led to unsafe systems that cause sewage to back up into homes and backyards. The Rural Community Development (RCD) program is addressing these issues and helping to prevent exposure to contaminants like hookworms, coliform, and E. coli that cause major health problems.

Community participation is one of the anchoring pillars known to be beneficial to the development, implementation and evaluation of development projects. Recently in Siaya County, I had a focused group discussion with a farmers group to understand their journey and what the group envisons to achieve in this current season. The discussion painted an holistic image of the challenges the farmers face and how they can embrace some of the locally available solutions to address them. #communitydevelopment #sustainabilitymatters #roadmaptosustainability

What do you think of this? The revised plan reduces the building's height from four to three stories, bringing the total unit count down to 48. Color scheme and parking arrangements have also been adjusted to better blend with the area. Additionally, a conservation easement will protect natural resources near the development. With town officials seeking court approval for the settlement, a public hearing is scheduled for February 29th. If approved, the project could help address Simsbury's low affordable housing stock, currently at 5.1%, while addressing residents' initial concerns. #Simsbury #affordablehousing #housingcrisis #communitydevelopment #CT #Connecticut #housingjustice #equitablehousing #urbanplanning #sustainabledevelopment
