With the De La Costa I project as pioneer, government has moved towards endorsing a variety of social housing approaches including the now famed Community Mortgage Programme. Families remark on the improved health of their children and on the capacity to let their children play outdoors without danger. Many open small businesses within the project to improve family income. De La Costa is substantially a response to women's rights in housing by providing not only the women but the family with a safe, decent, sanitary and secure habitat. Secondly, women are very active in managing the project and taking an active part in the various community activities.
Women are also the primary instigators of income generating activity within the projects.
