3.27 The Home Ownership Plus Education (HOPE)
scheme encourages young, low-income families to
limit themselves to at most two children, so as
to give these children the best chance of success.
Presently, HOPE is only open to couples if both
have no more than two ‘O’ level passes.
We will relax this to include parents without
post-secondary qualifications, and also slightly
older couples who despite having post-secondary
education, still earn low incomes after working
for some years. However, we will maintain the
rule that the couple must have no more than two
children to be eligible for HOPE.
