The preamble explains that the iSLP is a joint initiative of the Provincial, metropolitan and local authorities and community organisations, with the endorsement and financial support of national government, "to plan and then implement strategies for meeting the housing and associated needs of low-income families . . . The iSLP’s primary focus is on the communities of Crossroads and surrounding informal settlements, with a secondary focus on the needs of people living in the backyards and hostels of [the long-standing townships of] Langa, Guguletu & Nyanga who do not have secure rights to serviced land."

The first step in the housing process would be "to enable low-income families to gain secure tenure to a serviced plot of their own. The project is also designed to assist members of communities to obtain access to housing and other development resources and to thereby participate in a process of incremental and sustainable development. Furthermore, the iSLP is committed to ensuring the best possible access for each community within the project to the facilities and services required to promote health, education, welfare and employment."
