I am 65 years old and my brother is 66 years old. Both our parents passed away more than 10 years ago. Do we qualify under the orphan scheme?

Yes, as unmarried siblings aged 65 and 66 whose parents have passed away more than 10 years ago, you and your brother qualify as orphans under HDB's Orphans Priority Scheme. This scheme allows you to apply jointly as a family nucleus for a 3-room or larger flat, provided you meet other eligibility criteria such as income limits (up to $14,000 monthly household income for a 3-room flat) and have no private property ownership.

Key requirements include:
- Both applicants must be unmarried Singapore Citizens.
- No ownership or disposal of private residential property in the last 30 months.
- You must not have previously enjoyed certain housing subsidies unless repaid.

Apply via HDB's Build-To-Order (BTO) sales launch or Sale of Balance Flats (SBF). Check EdgeProp Singapore for upcoming BTO projects and eligibility details to confirm your status and application timelines. Contact HDB directly for a formal assessment, as individual circumstances may affect approval.
