Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 5: Louis Chua on rental affordability
In Parliament on Thursday (Mar 2), MP Louis Chua repeated an earlier call for the Government to consider providing a time-limited rental subsidy for rental flat applicants who qualify for the Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme and Public Rental Scheme, provided that they are unable to find alternative temporary housing and have been unsuccessful in obtaining a flat from HDB after a predefined time period. He said the open market seems to be HDB’s “catch-all solution” but open market rentals have soared beyond the budget of many Singaporeans.
