Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 5: Gerald Giam on interim rental housing
In Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 8), MP Gerald Giam urged HDB to increase the number of flats supplied under the interim rental housing scheme and offer tiered rental rates. This would help those who are not eligible for the public rental scheme, but do not earn enough to rent in the open market, and need housing urgently. He wanted to know how many applications HDB has received since 2020 for rental flats under the Public Rental Scheme, the interim rental housing scheme and the Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme. He asked how many approvals were granted and the reasons for approvals or rejections.
