Here's a response combining the best aspects of previous responses and addressing the outdated information (as of May 2024):
**HDB Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP):**
You're right, Alan Reid. In 2009, the HDB Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP) was underway, aiming to provide lift access for older flats without them. However, there were some limitations.
**Factors Affecting Upgrading Feasibility:**
* **Technical Constraints:** Certain buildings might have structural limitations that make lift installation impractical or cost-prohibitive.
* **Space Constraints:** Lack of available space within or around the building could hinder lift installation.
**Current Status (as of May 2024):**
The HDB has made significant progress in the LUP initiative. Through technological advancements and innovative solutions, they've minimized limitations.
**How to Find Out About Upgrading Plans for Your Block:**
* **HDB website:** Check the HDB website ([https://www.hdb.gov.sg/](https://www.hdb.gov.sg/)) for the latest information on the LUP and ongoing projects. You can search by estate or block number.
* **HDB Branch Contact:** Contact your nearest HDB branch directly. They can provide specific details about upgrade plans for your block (if any).
**Important Note:**
While the LUP has aimed for comprehensive coverage, there might still be a few exceptional cases where lift upgrades aren't feasible. The HDB website and branch contact should be your primary sources for the most up-to-date information regarding your specific building.
