HDB 3-room Flats Rented Out under Public Rental Scheme

Mr Pritam Singh asked the Minister for National Development (a) how many 3-room HDB flats are currently rented out under the Public Rental Scheme; and (b) how many remain available.

There are currently about 200 public rental households living in 3-room flats and 40 3-room public rental flats available for allocation.

The Housing and Development Board (HDB) works closely with the Ministry of Social and Family Development and selected Family Service Centres (FSCs) to offer 3-room public rental flats to large families with children under the ComLink Rental Scheme, on a case-by-case basis. These families receive holistic social support as part of ComLink, including from the FSC social workers and HDB’s Home ownership Support Team.
