Mr Sharael Taha asked the Minister for National Development (a) whether he can provide an update on the Single Room Shared Facilities initiative; (b) how many rooms will be made available; and (c) what is the expected number of people who will apply for this new type of public rental housing.

Desmond Lee

We are launching a pilot of the new Single Room Shared Facilities (SRSF) typology to provide more options for lower-income singles under the Public Rental Scheme. With SRSF, we aim to provide more privacy for tenants while making good use of the limited space. The shared facilities and communal spaces will enable social interaction and reduce the risk of social isolation.

HDB is currently refurbishing the premises at the former Anderson Junior College hostel to prepare for the pilot. The site has about 240 units that will be fully partitioned to create 480 single rooms.

We will gauge the level of interest for the SRSF pilot when it opens for applications in December 2023.
