Applicants who qualify for the Singles Grant may also benefit from the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) for Singles of up to $40,000.
The EHG (Singles) amount is based on the average gross monthly household income (halved) assessed over the months worked during the assessment period, i.e. a 12-month period prior to the date of your resale application (see example below). The incomes of all working persons in the household (i.e. applicants and occupiers) are included in the assessment. Families with lower household incomes will receive a larger grant amount.
You must first meet all of the eligibility conditions for the Singles Grant and satisfy these conditions:
Employment
You or your spouse must:
• Have worked continuously for 12 months prior to the resale application • Still be working at the time you submitted the resale application
Income Ceiling
Half of the average gross monthly household income (including applicants and occupiers) for the months worked during the 12 months before the flat application must not exceed $4,500
20 years or more.
Flat must have sufficient lease to cover the youngest buyer and spouse to the age of 95 to qualify for the full EHG. Otherwise, the EHG will be pro-rated.
