400,000 households to receive second round of S$50 CDC vouchers

SINGAPORE: Another round of Community Development Council vouchers will be rolled out to about 400,000 Singaporean households from Feb 8.

"This scheme will not only help residents defray their cost of living, the vouchers will also revitalise hawkers and local merchants as we unite to support each other," said Ms Low Yen Ling, Chairman of Mayors’ Committee and Mayor of South West District."Despite being in Phase 3, there will be no let-up in our efforts, and the CDCs will continue to provide sustained support to the community and Singaporeans in need. Together, we can build a stronger and more resilient Singapore.

According to the CDC, the first tranche of vouchers, which had ended on Dec 31, 2020, helped about 338,000 Singaporean lower-income households. The scheme also supported more than 8,000 participating local merchants and hawkers at HDB estates. Speaking at the launch on Monday, Mr Heng said the vouchers have given hawkers and merchants a boost to their businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
