The public housing landscape is constantly evolving and the government will do its best to meet the diverse needs of every Singaporean, said Senior Parliamentary Secretary for National Development Syed Harun Alhabsyi. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4), he highlighted the efforts to strengthen housing support for vulnerable Singaporeans. One initiative is the Public Rental Scheme. HDB has completed eight integrated blocks and another 36 are under construction. They will form part of about 6,300 public rental flats that will be completed over the next five years. The government is doing more to make the living environment more senior-friendly. Agencies are working to roll out Age Well Neighbourhoods, with the first one in Toa Payoh. Turning to the Lift Upgrading Programme, he told the House that there are plans to extend it to about 40 more blocks progressively.
