Besides the MCPS, we also have other schemes that cater to the needs of multi-generation families, as family members may want to live near or with each other.
Under the Multi-Generation Priority Scheme (MGPS) introduced in March 2012, priority allocation is given to parents and their married children who submit a joint application to buy flats from a pool of pre-identified flats in the same BTO project. Parents can apply for a 2-room Flexi or 3-room flat while the married child can apply for a 2-room Flexi or bigger flat.
Since the September 2013 BTO exercise, ‘3-generation (3Gen)’ flats have been launched, to allow multi-generation families to live under one roof. Each 3Gen flat features 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 en-suites), with an internal floor area of about 115 square metres.
