Plans for Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme Voucher Beyond December 2025

17 Ms Elysa Chen asked the Minister for National Development (a) whether the Ministry plans to extend the Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme Voucher scheme past December 2025; and (b) what factors will guide its decision on continuation or discontinuation.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: The Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS) (Open Market) Voucher is a temporary measure to support eligible families who rent Housing and Development Board flats or bedrooms on the open market, while HDB ramps up the PPHS supply to 4,000 units by the end of this year.

There are no plans to extend the Voucher as the ramp-up of PPHS supply is on track. In recent exercises, all married applicants with at least one child aged 18 or below, including those expecting a child, were offered the opportunity to select a PPHS flat.
