(a)-(d)  The Builders’ Support Facility will support eligible residential builders to complete new homes that have been under construction for more than two years.
Applications opened on 18 March 2024 and close 30 April 2024.
Successful applicants will receive one third of their total loan within three months of executing the loan agreement, with remaining disbursements to be paid upon the practical completion of each home subject to the Deed of Loan agreement.
Homes must be completed within twelve months from the execution of the Deed of Loan, with the loan disbursed in instalments to encourage timely completions.
