Proximity to Elderly Parents or Caregiving Networks as Criterion under Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme
Ms Mariam Jaafar asked the Minister for National Development (a) whether the current allocation and balloting framework for Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS) flats factors in an applicant's proximity to elderly parents or regular family caregiving networks; and (b) whether the Ministry will consider introducing a proximity priority tier for PPHS allocations, similar to the Married Child Priority Scheme used for BTO flats.
Mr Chee Hong Tat: The Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS) provides subsidised temporary housing for eligible families awaiting the completion of their new Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats.
As the demand for PPHS flats exceeds supply, HDB prioritises households with more urgent housing needs, such as those with children 18 and below. Successful applicants select from available flats based on their needs and preferences, including proximity to family members or caregiving networks.
