About us
People's Environmental Planning (PEP) is a not-for-profit organization (054-862-NPO) that has supported organised communities in informal settlements (slums) around South Africa since mid-1998. Shawn Cuff (a qualified architect) established PEP to provide technical housing assistance to the South African Homeless People’s Federation and subsequently the Federation of the Urban Poor (FEDUP). Over the next decade, PEP assisted poor communities affiliated to FEDUP design, plan and build houses across South Africa. In this time PEP has adapted to the many shifts in the local housing environment, providing sustained support in line with our vision and mission. Details and photos of these projects can be viewed here.
