#DYK? HDB completed more than 20,000 flats across 22 housing projects last year. Here’s more on our construction plans.
#DYK From remaining in their current flat to moving to a new flat, seniors have a range of monetisation options to supplement their retirement income. These include right-sizing through the 2-room Flexi Scheme, or selling part of their remaining flat leases to HDB under the Lease Buyback Scheme. Find out more.
#DYK? HDB completed close to 50% more flats in 2022 as compared to 2021. The median waiting times for BTO flats currently under construction is 4.3 years. We aim to reduce this to 3 to 4 years from 2024.

#DYK that since 2021, all new HDB estates come with separate chutes for recycling waste?
♻ No need to pre-sort recyclables - sorting is done at the sorting facility
✋ Chutes only open up with a hand lever, instead of a foot pedal, to prevent wet waste from being thrown in
The result? Recyclable waste collected at the pilot project over 1 year was 3 times more than housing estates without recycling chutes!
