HDB Grants

Housing

HDB housing grants are subsidies that help eligible citizens buy a flat by reducing the amount they need to pay. Common ones include grants for first-timer families buying new or resale flats, grants for buying near or with parents, and enhanced support scaled to household income. The amount depends on factors like income ceiling, flat type, whether it is a first purchase, and buyer profile such as singles or couples. Grants are usually credited to your CPF and add to your CPF housing usage. Grant types, amounts and eligibility are subject to the latest rules.
