Singapore unveils rent voucher for families awaiting BTO flat completion

The 1-year voucher is expected to enable them to temporarily rent an HDB flat.

Singapore is rolling out 1-year housing vouchers to support families awaiting the completion of their BTO flats.

In his budget statement, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said that the government is providing a PPHS (Open Market) voucher for one year. The voucher is expected to enable families to rent an HDB flat in the open market as they wait for the completion of their BTO flats.

The voucher is part of a series of support schemes that the Singapore government is rolling out in support of local families.

Many support schemes are aimed for families with children and in particular for the children's education.

Notably, the Edusave Endowment Fund has been topped up by $2b.

With this, all special education schools’ maximum monthly fees have been reduced to $90, from $250 previously. Fee caps for all Special Student Care Centres have also been lowered.

Singapore Budget

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
