The Swakopmund Municipality has signed an agreement with the National Housing Enterprise (NHE) for housing provision.

Last year, about 805 residents from Swakopmund's DRC informal settlement received free plots from the municipality to construct brick houses and apply for electricity connections. 

Another devastating fire broke out in Tulinawa, Swakopmund's Mondesa residential area, leaving 23 residents homeless after about six dwellings burned to ashes.

The fire was caused by a gas stove explosion, and fortunately, there were no reported casualties or injuries in the incident.
