PrintPriority Scheme for Single Elderly Persons
Single elderly persons applying for PRH under this priority scheme must be at least 58 years old when they apply and must be at least 60 at the time of flat allocation, while also fulfilling the general eligibility criteria.
Eligible applications under this scheme receive priority processing over applications from ordinary families.
The applicant may apply for addition of family members and the application will be switched to a family application under the priority scheme concerned without the need for a new registration and continue to use the previous application number. Half of the waiting time originally accumulated by the applicant as a single person will be credited to his/her family application up to a maximum of three years. After adjustment of the waiting time, his/her application will be given a registration date equivalent to that of a general application. This registration date serves as a reference for the subsequent allocation and enforcement of the relevant PRH application policies.
