The Housing & Development Board (HDB) is Singapore's public housing authority. HDB plans and develops Singapore's housing estates; building homes and transforming towns to create a quality living environment for all. HDB provides various commercial, recreational, and social amenities in our towns for our residents’ convenience.
Established on 1 February 1960 during our nation’s housing crisis, HDB was tasked with providing sanitary living conditions to replace the prevalent unhygienic slums and crowded squatter settlements. HDB delivered, and built 21,000 flats in less than 3 years. By 1965, within a decade of our formation, we had built 54,000 flats.
Singapore's public housing has housed an entire nation – today, more than 1 million flats have been completed in 23 towns and 3 estates across the island. HDB flats are home to over 80% of Singapore's resident population, with about 80% of these resident households proudly owning their home.
For over 50 years, HDB has provided quality and affordable public housing for generations of Singaporeans, and we are proud to continue doing so.
