More HDB rental flats for families awaiting BTO completion; new income ceiling for applicants

SINGAPORE: More rental flats will be offered to help support families waiting for their Build-to-Order home to be completed, said the Housing and Development Board on Tuesday .

Since 2020, the demand for interim rental housing from families awaiting their BTO flats has increased significantly, said HDB. Applications almost doubled to 2,350 in 2020, compared to 1,370 in the previous year. Priority will also be given to married couples with children aged 18 years and below, including expectant parents.

This applies to those who had an opportunity to select a flat but did not proceed with the selection, as well as those who did not proceed with payment after selecting a flat.PPHS exercises will now be held once every two months, instead of monthly. From the next exercise in October 2021, applicants will have 14 days to submit their application, which allows HDB to process the applications earlier.
