The MEC maintained there were innovative ways of tackling the severe housing backlog.
The province has a housing shortage of nearly 500 000 units.
Madikizela said with an annual 17 percent migration rate to the Western Cape, the housing backlog would only get worse.
He conceded housing delivery was moving at a slow pace and said a concerted effort was needed to tackle the challenge.
