A means-tested grant that helps lower- and middle-income Singaporean households buy their first HDB flat, whether new or resale. The amount received rises as household income falls, and the grant is credited to your CPF account toward the flat purchase.
Example: A first-time couple with a modest combined income may qualify for a sizeable EHG that reduces the CPF they need to draw down for their flat. Exact income ceilings and grant tiers should be verified against HDB.
