Grants and financial schemes are also provided by the government to subsidise the cost of flats

Additional CPF Housing Grant (AHG) was introduced in 2006 to help low-income families buy their first flat. Families earning not more than $5000 a month can qualify a grant of up to $40000, which is used to pay for the flat.

This will enable every Singaporean to own a flat without burdening them with additional financial stress. # #
