[Lecture] Homeless in Singapore: Results from a Nationwide Street Count

Homelessness exists in Singapore. However, its scale has never been systematically measured. This seminar presents the results from Singapore’s first nationwide count of homeless people sleeping in public places. Using a combination of two count strategies that gathered observational as well as interview data, the study produced findings on the total number of homeless people, their geographical distribution across 25 districts, demographic profile, living conditions, experience of homelessness, economic situation, health, and access to social support and public services. These findings can contribute to public understanding of homelessness and guide policy and service planning. They also invite reflection and dialogue on the nature of housing insecurity in our society and what it means to be a part of a community. The event will include the launch of a publicly accessible report of the study’s key findings and a panel discussion.
