Written Answer by Ministry of National Development on current number of rental flats under the HDB Public Rental Scheme and current number of rental flats under Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme broken down by flat type

May 10, 2021

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis: To ask the Minister for National Development (a) what is the current number of rental flats under the HDB Public Rental Scheme, broken down by 1-room and 2-room flats; and (b) what is the current number of rental flats under the Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS), broken down by flat type. 

Answer:

There are currently about 31,000 1-room and 31,000 2-room Public Rental flats.  We have sufficient supply for households who need these flats.

For the Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS), there are about 110 2-room, 570 3-room, and 60 4-room flats. The supply of PPHS flats is limited and depends on the availability of vacant flats, such as those in vacated blocks that are not immediately needed for redevelopment. We have been working to provide a more stable supply of PPHS flats, and will continue to study how we can provide more options for families who need temporary housing while waiting for their new flat to be completed.
