ℹ️#DYK: From January 2026, playgrounds in newly launched BTO projects will be guided by HDB’s new Play Values Framework. Shaped by children and parents’ feedback and with input from early childhood professionals, healthcare professionals and playground specialists, the framework guides the creation of engaging play spaces that support children’s development.
Home buyers, more new homes are coming your way in 2025!
In October, we’ll launch the first BTO project at the former Keppel Club Site. Located next to Berlayer Creek, the project will offer around 1,000 units ranging from 2-room Flexi to 4-room flats, as well as public rental flats, in a central location close to nature. #DYK that a granite rock outcrop, ‘Batu Berlayar’, once stood nearby and was said to have served as a navigational marker for maritime traders? We’ll be sharing more information on the project later this year.
Also, here’s a first look at the Toa Payoh Town (West) BTO project that we’re launching this July. Home buyers will be able to choose from 740 units of 2-room Flexi to 4-room flats, and the project will come with new amenities such as an eating house, shops, and a preschool.

#DYK The Home ownership Support Team (HST) provides support to rental families who are ready to buy a flat.
Mdm Aliya was one of the rental households who bought a new flat with the support of the HST. With a Step-Up Housing Grant of $15,000 from HDB and her CPF savings, she fully paid off her flat and did not have to take up any mortgage. She’s happy to have a home to call her own. ❤🏠
#DYK The Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS) supports families in need of temporary housing while they await the completion of their new BTO flats?
To meet the demand for PPHS flats, we will double the supply to 4,000 units by 2025.

#DYK The HFE letter is a 3-in-1 eligibility assessment that streamlines the flat buying process, informing you upfront of your eligibility to:
1️⃣ Buy a new and/ or resale flat
2️⃣ Receive CPF housing grants, and the amount
3️⃣ Take up an HDB housing loan, and the amount
Remember: You’ll need an HFE letter before you can apply for a flat at the February 2024 Sales Launch. Apply by 15 January 2024 at https://homes.hdb.gov.sg
#DYK that HDB has a 10-year plan to reduce energy consumption in HDB towns by 15%, by 2030? Find out more about the HDB Green Towns Programme: go.gov.sg/hdb-gtp-racetosustainability
If you're thinking of buying a flat at the next sales launch, be sure to apply for an HFE letter early. The HFE letter is valid for 6 months - more on the HFE letter and when you’ll need it in your flat buying journey.

#DYK The Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) protects you and your family from electric current leakage? Check if your home has one, and follow EMA’s steps to test it today.
PSA to home owners of flats built before 1985 📢 HDB will be assisting eligible HDB homeowners with the installation of an RCCB, if they do not already have one:
▪️For 1- and 2- room flats, the Government will fully fund the cost of the RCCB installation and necessary rewiring
▪️For 3-room and larger flats, the cost will be subsidised by the Government.
#DYK that since 2021, all new HDB estates come with separate chutes for recycling waste?
♻ No need to pre-sort recyclables - sorting is done at the sorting facility
✋ Chutes only open up with a hand lever, instead of a foot pedal, to prevent wet waste from being thrown in
The result? Recyclable waste collected at the pilot project over 1 year was 3 times more than housing estates without recycling chutes!
#DYK? HDB completed close to 50% more flats in 2022 as compared to 2021. The median waiting times for BTO flats currently under construction is 4.3 years. We aim to reduce this to 3 to 4 years from 2024.
