Housing & Development Board
As Singapore’s public housing authority, we plan and develop towns and estates, providing homes for Singaporeans and creating a quality environment to live, work, play and learn.
Our story began on 1 February 1960, shortly after Singapore attained self-government, when we took over from the Singapore Improvement Trust as the national housing authority. Confronted with the massive task of addressing the nation’s housing crisis, we set out with a mission to provide basic and functional homes for families living in unhygienic slums and crowded squatter settlements. Within 3 years, we delivered more than 21,000 flats. Since then, we have built over 1.25 million well-designed flats, housing close to 80% of Singapore’s resident population.
