Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Find out how families waiting for their homes can access subsidized temporary rental housing through this scheme.
The Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS) provides temporary, subsidized rental housing for families who are currently waiting for their new homes to be built.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically designed for families who find themselves in a housing gap. It is intended for those who have applied for Build-To-Order (BTO) flats but do not yet have a permanent place to live while waiting for their new property to be completed.
What you get
If you qualify, you can access temporary, subsidized rental housing. This scheme is meant to provide a stable living arrangement during the transition period between your current living situation and the completion of your permanent home.
What it costs you
While the housing is provided at a subsidized rate to help lower the financial burden on families, it is not free. You will be required to make regular monthly rental payments to maintain your tenancy in the provisional housing.
The catch to know
Because there is a limited supply of these temporary units, qualifying does not guarantee you a place immediately. Most applicants will need to go through a balloting process to determine who is assigned a unit.
How to apply
- Confirm that your family status and your BTO application status meet the necessary criteria.
- Gather the required documentation to prove your eligibility for the scheme.
- Follow the official procedures for submitting your application to the relevant housing authority.
- Monitor official communications regarding balloting results and unit availability.
