72 Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for National Development (a) whether an update can be provided on the total number of HDB owners who have applied for the Lift Access Housing Grant to date since its introduction; (b) how many have been approved so far; and (c) how many HDB owners have been approved for the grant since its increase from $30,000 to $80,000 in April 2025.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: Housing and Development Board (HDB) households facing medical or mobility challenges may tap on the Lift access Housing Grant (LHG) to help them move to a new or resale flat with direct lift access.

Since the implementation of the LHG in 2020, HDB has received 78 complete applications; 60 of these were approved, of which 12 benefitted from the grant increase in April 2025.
