Ms Sylvia Lim asked the Minister for National Development in relation to the Home Improvement Programme, how many HDB flats will be allocated to benefit from this programme in each of the years from FY2013 to FY2015.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: The Home Improvement Programme (HIP) is a massive upgrading programme covering 300,000 flats. It aims to address common maintenance problems in ageing flats, such as spalling concrete and ceiling leakage, in a systematic and comprehensive manner.

If budget permits, HDB targets to select up to 28,000 flats in FY2013 and up to 35,000 flats per year in FY2014 and FY2015.
