National Development Minister Desmond Lee visiting a Housing Board precinct in Jurong West that is undergoing the Home Improvement Programme on Sunday.SINGAPORE – Upgrading works for about 305,000 Housing Board flats – or 95 per cent of the units that were built up to 1986 and eligible for the Home Improvement Programme – have been completed as at last Friday.
HIP has three components – essential improvements, optional improvements and Enhancement for Active Seniors . Visiting an HDB precinct in Jurong West undergoing HIP upgrading on Sunday, Minister for National Development Desmond Lee announced an expansion of the Ease programme to include two new elderly-friendly fittings from Tuesday.
Asked if the upgrading works will be affected by HDB’s ramping up of construction of Build-To-Order flats, Mr Lee said: “The fact that we are ramping up construction of BTO flats should not affect the pace at which we’re doing the home upgrading projects. The 64-year-old, a part-time technician in an engineering firm, used to find it physically demanding helping his 86-year-old mother up or down the two steps and onto the wheelchair.
“My mom has many children to take care of her. For me, I have only three. In future, when I am on my own, the wheelchair lifter would be more practical,” he said.
