Transit Point @
In 2007, New Hope was appointed by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (formerly the Ministry of Community, Youth and Sports) to operate a shelter for the homeless. The Shelter for Displaced Families was born in June that year, providing interim accommodation and case management services for families who were at-risk of or already homeless.
Recognising that the homeless population includes more than just families, we expanded our transitional shelter services and set up the Shelter for Displaced Individuals in 2010 to serve individuals who are at-risk of or are already homeless.
In 2021, the shelter was renamed Transit Point @ Jalan Kukoh. This serves to identify and distinguish the transitional shelter at Jalan Kukoh from the other shelters that New Hope currently operates. To date, the shelter has served more than 1000 individuals and families.
Through the portfolio of services provided, our shelters aim to assist families and individuals in obtaining stable housing and employment, building their network of informal social support and ultimately grow confident in becoming self-reliant.
