Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 5: Chong Kee Hiong on rental flat schemes, Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme
How successful has the Joint Singles Scheme Operator-Run Pilot been in matching rental flat applicants with flatmates and what is the percentage of flats allocated to the scheme? This was asked by MP Chong Kee Hiong in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 8). For those applying under the Family scheme, he asked if HDB would consider assigning larger rental flats to bigger families to reduce overcrowding and be more conducive for work-from-home arrangements. Mr Chong also raised concerns about young couples with children on the way who have to wait up to five years for their Build-to-Order flats. He asked if HDB could provide more flats under the Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme, including unsold units under Sale of Balance Flats, surrendered flats and confiscated flats.
