The objective of this research paper is to confirm the factorial validity of residents' needs and expectations variables as predicting factor of low-income residents' housing satisfaction in South Africa. The data used for the study were collected via a questionnaire survey conducted among 751 low-income housing residents' in three metropolitan and one district municipality in the Gauteng Province of South Africa. The data gathered through the questionnaire survey were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) which was used to assess the factor structure of the constructs. SEM analysis revealed that the internal consistency coefficients were over 0.70 criterions for acceptability and the constructs show a good mode ft to the sample data. The Z-statistics analysis revealed that the construct (needs and expectations) have direct influence in determining low-income residents' satisfaction with their houses. The result advocates a practical consideration of the construct and its respective indicator variables in future development of low-income housing in South Africa.
