# 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 <https://www.westerncape.gov.za/assets/departments/human-settlements/docs/forms/hs-individual-housing-subsidy-application-form-final-30march2022.pdf> 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.&#x20;

Once the subsidy has been approved, the transfer process can proceed&#x20;
