Projected Number of HDB Rental Flat Blocks and Units to be Cleared Over Next Five Years

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for National Development what is the projected number of HDB rental flat blocks and units that will be cleared over the next five years.

Mr Desmond Lee: As part of the Government's broader estate renewal strategy and to refresh our rental housing stock, eight public rental blocks are planned to be cleared progressively over the next five years. We will provide relocation support for tenants living in these blocks and facilitate their move to a newer rental flat or to buy a new flat if they are able to. We are also building new rental flats as part of our redevelopment plans.
