MEET the eligibility criteria and one has the chance to participate tangibly in the Singapore dream by being able to buy a build-to-order (BTO) Housing Development Board (HDB) flat at a subsidised price.

To be eligible to buy a BTO flat, a couple comprising a Singapore citizen and another citizen or a permanent resident cannot have average monthly household income that exceeds S$14,000.
