Sim Ann on selection of HDB blocks for Home Improvement Programme
As at the end of January 2023, there are 527 blocks which are 30 years and above that are eligible for the Home Improvement Programme (HIP) but which are pending selection. Out of the 4,449 blocks selected for HIP since the programme started in 2007, 102 blocks are below 30 years as at 2023. Generally, these blocks have been selected as they form a contiguous parcel with blocks that are 30 years and above. Senior Minister of State for National Development Sim Ann gave this update in reply to an MP's questions in Parliament on Monday (Feb 27). She said in general, the Ministry of National Development and Housing and Development Board (HDB) will accord priority to older flats, while ensuring that there is a good geographical spread of HIP projects.
