Png Eng Huat

Mr Png Eng Huat asked the Minister for National Development what are the number and percentage of flats that are built up to 1986 and eligible for the Home Improvement Programme (HIP) but have not been approved for the programme yet; and (b) what is the timeline set to complete HIP for this batch of flats.

Lawrence Wong

The Home Improvement Programme (HIP) was introduced in 2007 with more than 300,000 eligible flats.

The Housing and Development Board has received nominations for the remaining 74,000 HIP-eligible flats and is working to complete the selection exercise by the first half of 2018. This constitutes approximately 23% of the flats eligible for HIP when it was introduced in 2007.

In general, a typical HIP project takes about two to three years to complete after announcement. Nonetheless, the time taken differs from project to project due to site-specific issues and conditions.
