Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme

The Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme, or SERS for short, is an urban redevelopment strategy employed by the Housing and Development Board in Singapore in maintaining and upgrading public housing flats in older estates in the city-state.

The implementation of SERS also depends on the availability of replacement sites and the Government's financial resources.

[1] All residents displaced by the redevelopment works are offered a new 99-year lease in new flats constructed nearby.

The scheme also gives residents the opportunity to continue living near their kin and neighbours, thereby retaining kinship bonds and strengthening community ties.

The national government has power, under the Land Acquisitions Act of 1966, to carry out the Selective En Bloc scheme.
