From improving accessibility and designs of homes, supporting seniors and vulnerable families, to greening and upgrading of estates and towns – we remain steadfast in our mission to provide quality environments for Singaporeans to call home.

Singapore’s first Community Care Apartments will be launched next year in February 2021! The pilot project will be located at Bukit Batok West, with retail, leisure, health and public transport amenities nearby to support seniors’ daily needs. The Community Care Apartments will integrate senior-friendly design features, care services, and social services and programmes which support independent ageing. Check out some of the key features in the Facebook post below:

You can also visit the physical exhibition at HDB Hub, which will be held from 14 December to 31 March 2021. The exhibition will feature 3D models of the Community Care Apartments and a mock-up of the communal space. A showroom of the flat will also be available from 4 January onwards. Safe management measures will be in place at the exhibition – note that you must book an appointment before coming down.
In celebration of HDB’s 60 years of building homes, towns and communities, we asked you to show us your Shapes Of Homes in our photo contest with SPH Photonico. We are heartened that many of you contributed photos and shared fond memories with us, showing us what home means to you in myriad shapes and colours, from iconic designs to everyday moments in the heartlands.
The winning images and highlights of #HDBeautiful homes and heartlands can be viewed in an online exhibition. You can also find out more about the stories behind the photos here.
We also spoke with five HDB dwellers, who told us that home is where the best memories are made. Watch Mr Tan, Sulwyn, Aunty Rose, Mizah and Kaye tell their stories on what Home means to them, or read their interviews on MyNiceHome:
