To qualify, families must have a monthly household income of $7,000 or lower.

SINGAPORE – Eligible families waiting for their Build-To-Order units can apply to tap $300 a month in vouchers to offset rent for an HDB flat or bedroom on the open market from July 1.

“This gives eligible households who are planning to apply for the PPHS voucher sufficient time to secure a suitable tenancy and apply for the voucher,” HDB said on June 13.as HDB works to double its supply of interim rental flats under the scheme from 2,000 units now to 4,000 by 2025. Eligible families will receive the voucher through reimbursement for tenancies that fall between July 2024 and June 2025. If applicants start their tenancy on June 30, 2025, they will still be eligible for a $300 voucher for that month.

Those who are currently renting a PPHS flat from HDB can also choose to rent on the open market and apply for the voucher, HDB said. But they will qualify for the voucher only after they have ended the tenancy for the PPHS flat. The board said then that the number of applications under PPHS has dropped significantly after it ramped up the supply of temporary homes from 800 units in 2021 to the current 2,000.

Project administrator Koh Ling Ying, 31, said she will consider applying for the voucher if she does not get a PPHS flat by the end of 2024.
