Keeping Hope Alive’s founder provides practical aid to Singapore's less privileged to restore comfort, safety, and normalcy in their lives.
Not all rough sleepers are homeless.
Some sleep in public spaces despite having homes due to various circumstances. They include cross-border workers without proper accommodation, hoarders whose homes are overcrowded or infested, those avoiding conflict, noise or stress at home, and seniors who fear dying alone and unnoticed.
Conversely, not all homeless persons sleep rough. The homeless include the stateless and those recently released from prison without the means to rent a room. While some live in shelters, others cycle through temporary housing arrangements, says Fion Phua. She has run Keeping Hope Alive (KHA), a ground-up volunteer initiative supporting the less privileged in Singapore, for 40 years.
Homelessness in Singapore is largely hidden because of strict rules and enforcement, Phua notes. “For example, individuals with expired visas remain invisible out of necessity. Otherwise, they risk being deported.”
