HDB rolls out enhancements to married child priority scheme

Up to 30% of new flats will be set aside for applicants.

The Housing and Development Board today rolled out changes to the married child priority scheme (MCPS), which will allow more married children to live close to their parents.

Under the changes, HDB will set aside a certain proportion of new flat supply for parents and married children who wish to live close to one another.

Up to 30% of the flat supply from this month’s build-to-order (BTO) and sale of balance flats (SBF) exercises will be set aside for MCPS first-timer families and up to 15% for second-timer families.

Previously, families who wish to live with or near each other received extra ballot chances for their new flat application under the MCPS.

With effect from November’s BTO and SBF exercises, the MCPS will be converted from a chance-based to a quota-based priority scheme to offer such applicants significantly higher chances of success.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
