# Submit or re-submit a subsidy application To qualify for a subsidy, applicants must be * A South African citizen or be permanent residents * 18 years or older * Married or living with a partner OR * Single with proven financial dependents permanently living with the applicant * Applicants have never owned property or received a subsidy from the government before * Maximum monthly household income of R15 000 (in line with Guiding Principle 6). * Where the occupant earns more than R15 000 the occupant can apply for a FLISP to purchase the property in line with the[ regularisation process](/primary-transfer-toolkit/beneficiary-administration-and-transfer-toolkit/validation-regularisation-and-transfer/regularising-non-beneficiaries.md). This price is set at a fixed amount of R15 000 (roughly approximating the value of the land in subsidy properties) plus transfer costs. * Unlike other FLISP subsidies, there the occupant qualifies for a capital amount in excess of the land and transfer costs but this is not paid over to the beneficiary In order to submit an application for a subsidy, the applicant must have the following documents: 1. ID document of applicant 2. ID documents of spouse / co-applicant (if applicable) 3. Marriage certificate (if applicable) 4. ID documents of dependents 5. Unabridged birth certificates of children 6. Proof of income These documents must accompany a completed subsidy application form, available from each provincial Human Settlements Department (see for the Western Cape). The housing authority can facilitate subsidy applications and re-applications in order to expedite the process, particularly where the housing authority is accredited and has access to the HSS. Once the subsidy has been approved, the transfer process can proceed See [Core Registration Process](/primary-transfer-toolkit/beneficiary-administration-and-transfer-toolkit/validation-regularisation-and-transfer/core-registration-process.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
