Last March, Madam Selvaranee Kanakasabai, 38, and her two teenage children finally moved into a home of their own, after years of living in rented rooms and sharing interim flats with others.
The 38-year-old single parent applied for a new two-room flat in Senja Road in 2014, under a Sale of Balance Flats exercise.
Madam Selvaranee Kanakasabai works as an administrative assistant earning $1,500 a month.
Her income qualified her for the maximum Additional CPF Housing Grant of $40,000 and the maximum Special Housing Grant of $20,000.
This effectively halved the cost of her flat which was $130,000.
"I didn't fork out any cash because it was covered by my CPF," she said.
The family collected the keys early last year, and moved into the new flat in March.
