Breakdown of Successful Single Applicants for 2-Room Flexi Flats by Gender and Income Bracket

Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for National Development whether he can provide a breakdown of the number of singles who have successfully applied for 2-room flexi flats since they were launched, by (i) gender and (ii) income bracket, specifically those with a monthly income of $1,000 and less, and between $1,001 and $6,000 in multiples of $1,000.

Two-room flexi flats were first offered for sale in November 2015. From 1 November 2015 to 31 December 2018, a total of 18,572 singles had applied and were invited to select a 2-room flexi flat under the Housing and Development Board's Build-To-Order (BTO) and Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercises.1 A breakdown of this figure by gender and income is provided in Table 1 below.
