4.	How does the Ministry ensure affordable, quality public housing for all Singaporeans? The Housing & Development Board (HDB) is Singapore’s public housing authority and a statutory board under the Ministry of National Development. HDB plans and develops towns that provide Singaporeans with quality homes and living environments. Over 80% of Singapore’s resident population calls HDB flats, home. There is a wide variety of housing from 2-room Flexi flats to 5-room and 3Gen flats, that cater to the needs of different household sizes and budgets. Buyers can choose between new or resale flats, or even Executive Condominiums which are built by private developers. In pricing new HDB flats, the principle has always been to keep homes affordable and within reach of the majority of flat buyers. There are various schemes and housing grants to help Singaporeans meet their housing needs at different life stages. Beyond formulating policies to promote home ownership, MND and HDB actively encourage flat buyers to exercise financial prudence and forward planning in their flat purchase. HDB also provides various commercial, recreational and social amenities in HDB towns for residents’ convenience, and a key priority is ensuring that public housing meets changing needs and circumstances. Through renewal and upgrading programmes, HDB brings new features and improvements to older estates and towns to ensure their vibrancy and continued relevance. Find out how the various estate renewal and upgrading programmes will help to rejuvenate HDB estates here. For more information, you may refer to the HDB InfoWeb: www.hdb.gov.sg.
