HDB doubles supply of Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme flats

The agency increased the flat supply to 4,000 by 2025 from the current 2,000.

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) has increased the supply of flats available under the Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS) from 2,000 to 4,000 flats by 2025.

The vacated flats at Tanglin Halt under the 2014 Selective En Bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS), which will be around 2,000, will form the bulk of the additional PPHS supply.

HDB will also refurbish the flats across 17 blocks in Tanglin Halt.

The blocks to be spruced up for interim use under PPHS comprise Blocks 55, 56, 58-60, 62 Commonwealth Drive, and Blocks 33-38 and 40-44 Tanglin Halt Road. Another four blocks, Blocks 63-66, are already part of the existing PPHS supply.

After the refurbishments, HDB will let out the flats to families needing temporary housing whilst they await the completion of their new Build-to-Order (BTO) flats.

Previous occupiers of the SERS flats were offered new flats in the nearby Dawson estate and have since moved into their new homes.

The PPHS provides an additional temporary housing option for households waiting for their new flats to be completed.

“Married couples with at least one child aged 18 and below, including expectant parents, will get priority in the allocation of flats under this scheme,” HDB explained.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
