\nProportion of flats under Married Child Priority Scheme cannot be increased, says MNDA third of new flats located in mature estates are already set aside for the Married Child Priority Scheme.
\nThe Government sets aside a significant proportion of flats\u2014up to one-third of new flats within mature estates\u2014under the Married Child Priority Scheme (MCPS), said the Ministry of National Development (MND) in Parliament on Tuesday (27 July).
\nThe ministry recognises the importance of supporting the needs of married children and parents who wish to live with or close to each other for mutual care and support.
\n\u201cMCPS gives priority to families buying new HDB flats to live with or near their parents or married children. Under the MCPS, 30% of the new flat supply in the mature estates is set aside for first-timer families. For second-timer families, it is 3%,\u201d it said.
\nAside from MCPS, the Government has also put in place other schemes aimed at facilitating mutual care and support among families. These include the Multi-Generation Priority Scheme, Senior Priority Scheme and 3Gen flats.
\n\u201cWithin our limited flat supply, we also have to meet the housing needs of other groups of Singaporeans, including first-timer families with children via the Parenthood Priority Scheme, and families with three or more children via the Third Child Priority Scheme,\u201d said MND.
\n\u201cTherefore, we are unable to increase the proportion of flats set aside under the MCPS at this juncture.\u201d
\nWith this, the ministry advised flat buyers who want to live with or close to their children or parents to consider purchasing a resale flat, and avail of the Proximity Housing Grant (PHG) of up to $30,000.
\nThe ministry made the statement in response to Member of Parliament Tin Pei Ling\u2019s question on whether the proportion of flats under MCPS could be increased for BTO projects in mature estates.
