Assessment of Rental Rates for Co-Living Accommodation Pilot under SG Youth Plan and Data on Income Distribution of Age-eligible Singaporean Beneficiaries

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (a) whether the Ministry had assessed the reasonableness of the monthly rental rates for the discounted co-living accommodation pilot launched under the SG Youth Plan; and (b) what is the (i) 25th percentile, (ii) median and (iii) 75th percentile of incomes earned by Singaporeans within the age eligibility criteria for the co-living units.

Mr David Neo: The pilot is an initiative from private sector providers and meant precisely to glean lessons on youths' needs, preferences, cost and other design considerations for flexible accommodation options.
