HHOS is totally funded by sponsorships as it does not receive any funding from the Government (even as it works closely with MSF). Proceeds go to supporting the homeless e.g. food, urgent hostel bookings.

IMPORTANT: While we are a registered charity (UEN 201839495C), we are not an IPC. Therefore, we will not be able to provide any tax-deductible receipts for your sponsorship received.

Your Giving Directly Helps The Homeless Here:

Emergency hostel / hotel stays for homeless vulnerable people

  • We partner with social workers to help sponsor emergency hostel / hotel stays for vulnerable homeless people on a case-by-case basis to help buy time for them until the social workers can secure S3Ps or transitional shelters for them. The vast majority of our costs go toward this area.

Clothing

  • When our homeless friends have secured jobs, they may require new sets of clothing to look presentable. 

Food and necessities (toiletries, SIM card prepayment, EZ link top-up)

  • During our regular outreaches, we give out healthy snacks and drinks, sometimes hot meals to our homeless friends. We also occasionally hand out other daily necessities such as toiletries, water bottles and ponchos. For those in poor financial condition, we may also top up their EZ link / SIM card.

Smartphones

  • Many of our homeless friends do not own smartphones and this greatly hinders their ability to find a job as they are essentially uncontactable. The smartphone also helps in ensuring the safety of our homeless friends as they will be able to contact us in the event of an emergency.

Medical expenses

  • Some of our homeless friends have serious medical conditions. We provide varying levels of financial support for their treatment on a case-by-case basis.
