Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 5: Nadia Ahmad Samdin on Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme
The Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS) is often families’ only practical option for finding a home of their own ahead of their Build-to-Order (BTO) flat completion, said MP Nadia Ahmad Samdin in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 5). She noted that HDB has committed to doubling its supply of flats under by 2025, and also announced the one-year rental voucher to be used in the open market. She wanted to know what demand-side factors have led to these announcements and why the period of one year, given that some BTO flats may take a longer time to complete. She also wanted to know if expectant parents can qualify for both schemes and the target average waiting time for families to obtain a flat under this scheme.
