Who qualifies

The Family Grant is available to eligible Singapore Citizen households (and Citizen/PR households in some configurations) buying a resale HDB flat, subject to a household income ceiling and first-timer status requirements. It does not apply to BTO or SBF purchases, which already carry a built-in subsidy.

How the quantum is determined

The grant amount depends on flat type (typically higher for smaller flat types like 2-room/3-room, lower for 4-room and above) and household income, tapering down as income rises towards the ceiling. Exact quantums are revised periodically, so check the current published table via your HFE letter rather than relying on a fixed number here.

Tip

The Family Grant is commonly combined with the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant and, if applicable, the Proximity Housing Grant — check all three together rather than in isolation.

Common disqualifiers

  • Household income above the ceiling for your flat type/scheme.
  • Not meeting first-timer criteria (having previously received a housing subsidy).
  • Buying a flat type or under a scheme the grant doesn't cover (e.g. some BTO/SBF purchases already have distinct subsidy treatment).
