The Singapore Government has confirmed that every household in the country will receive $300 worth of Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers in 2025. This nationwide distribution aims to ease daily living costs, support small local businesses, and boost community spending.
First introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the CDC Voucher Scheme has since become a well-recognised form of household assistance. Over the years, it has evolved into a practical tool that benefits both residents and the heartland economy.

Why the CDC Vouchers Matter in 2025
With inflation pushing up the prices of food, groceries, and everyday essentials, the $300 voucher package comes at the right time. The scheme offers three key advantages:
- Helps with daily expenses – Whether it’s buying vegetables, having breakfast at a coffee shop, or packing dinner from a hawker stall, the vouchers help stretch household budgets.
- Boosts small businesses – Hawkers, neighbourhood bakeries, and mom-and-pop grocery stores benefit from increased foot traffic and sales.
- Strengthens community bonds – Encourages residents to shop locally, keeping money circulating within the community.
Who Is Eligible?
One of the most attractive features of the scheme is its universal coverage. Every Singaporean household regardless of income level or whether they live in public or private housing will receive the vouchers.
Distribution will be based on the official residential address in government records.
