Asked by
Hello asking on behalf of my sister. After the passing of our Father (SC), we had to leave our homes as the flat we lived in was under joint tenancy and we did not own it anymore. We applied for HFE under non-citizen family scheme as our mother is a foreigner under work permit and it has been approved. HFE was applied under my sister's name aged 23. I would just like to double check if we are not able to apply for any grants. Is there any possibility for appeal as it is very hard to get a home without the grants. Is there anything we can do about it?

Will appreciate any help

Hi, the HFE will show you all the grants that are available for you given your current status. If you are intending to appeal, you can just call in to HDB and they will be able to provide you with the best advice and assistance.

If you are currently planning to go on a property journey selling/buying/renting/investing, I can be of assistance. Do feel free to reach out to me for more queries and assistance.

Hi Joshua,

As your Mother is a foreigner, and your sister is below age 35, I am afraid you are not eligible for any Housing Grant.

The only way to get a Grant is for your sister to get married and purchase the flat as a first timer. She will be eligible for first timers Grants.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Thank you.

Best regards,

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Here are some key points and options to consider:

Grant Eligibility: Generally, grants are available only to Singaporean citizens or permanent residents. Since your mother is a foreigner and your sister is a Singaporean citizen, you may not be eligible for certain grants.

Housing Assistance: Although you may not be eligible for grants, you've successfully applied for the HDB flat under the Non-Citizen Family Scheme. This scheme allows families with at least one Singaporean citizen to purchase a flat, even if other family members are foreigners.

Appeals: While it's challenging to appeal grant eligibility criteria, you can consider reaching out to HDB or relevant authorities to inquire about any potential options or exceptions. Explain your situation and see if there are any avenues for reconsideration.
