Public housing for LGBT Singaporeans

A glut of public housing usually influences the Housing and Development Board (HDB) to liberalise their policy towards LGBT Singaporeans and singles below 35, as well as single mothers.

Prior to the late 1980s, no single Singaporean of any age was able to purchase even a resale HDB flat anywhere on the island.

Then, gradually, singles over 35 were allowed to buy 3-room flats or smaller in non-central locations.

Later, they were allowed to buy 3-room flats anywhere in Singapore, even in central locations.

Still later, they were allowed to buy resale flats of any size, even executive flats, anywhere in Singapore.

Then, singles over 35 were eventually permitted to buy even new 2-room BTO flats or smaller with subsidies.
