Theme

As homelessness trends shift and complex causes emerge, it is vital that we rethink our strategies and build collective knowledge. This year, our theme is "Rethinking Shelter". How can we improve the shelter system in Singapore?

We want to challenge conventional notions of shelter and reimagine the philosophy of care. With a focus on enhancing human connections and building a sense of home, let us co-create solutions that address the holistic needs of the homeless.

Together, we can pave the way for improved long-term housing solutions and prevent recurring homelessness among individuals.
