As a forum, participants have the opportunity to contribute in discussions and forge connections. In addition, HLF also offers learning journeys hosted by like-minded organisations and partners, providing participants with an exciting, first-hand insight into the latest available programmes and support for people experiencing homelessness.Together, we exchange ideas, explore innovative solutions, and envision a future where every homeless person has the opportunity to thrive.What is the theme for this year?This year's theme is "Timely Steps, Lasting Impact: Addressing Homelessness at Life's Key Moments".Since its inception in 2019, HLF has been a platform to reflect on progress, surface ground realities, and explore innovative responses to homelessness in Singapore. In recent years, we have seen promising strides - expanded shelter and housing typologies, a more coordinated ecosystem, and deeper partnerships across agencies. Yet, homelessness continues to evolve, shaped by diverse pathways, life transitions and structural vulnerabilities.In 2025, we turn our attention upstream. This year's theme explores how early, life-stage-sensitive interventions can break the cycle of housing instability before it begins or worsens. The complexity of homlessness today demands that we intervene not only at the point of crisis but earlier - during childhood, adolesences, early adulthood, and through major life transitions such as incarceration, hospitalisation, or retirement. Effective early intervention could mean identifying risk factors in youth without safe family support, supporting low-income adults navigating chronic illness, or helping older persons facing eviction due to isolation or financial strain.

We will explore how long-term homelessness is not a static condition, but a dynamic process influenced by key life transitions extending from childhood adversities to adult crisis and systemic challenges in older age, as well as, turning points that mark significant breakthroughs along the life course. The keynote underscores how early intervention is crucial for preventing long-term homelessness and calls for actionable strategies for supporting individuals at critical junctures in their lives.?: 02:00 PM - 02:40 PMMSF 2025 Streetcount Preliminary Results Sharing?: 02:40 PM - 03:00 PMBreakInfo: Light refreshments is provided.?: 03:00 PM - 04:15 PMPanel 1: Outreach and EngagementHost: Moderator: Emeritus Prof. Ho Kong Chong?: 04:15 PM - 04:25 PMBreak?: 04:25 PM - 05:40 PMPanel 2: Shelter, Housing and CommunityHost: Moderator: Goh Ann Tat?: 05:40 PM - 06:00 PMClosing Address - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/toa-payoh/homelessness-learning-forum-2025-main-forum/100001528779954999 - **Event Categories**: business, workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fhomelessness-learning-forum-2025-main-forum-tickets-1528779954999 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: SGD ## Event venue details - **city**: Toa Payoh - **state**: SG - **country**: Singapore - **location**: Civil Service Club @ Tessensohn, Diamond Ballroom - **lat**: 1.3158491 - **long**: 103.8561888 - **full address**: Civil Service Club @ Tessensohn, Diamond Ballroom, 60 Tessensohn Road, Toa Payoh, Singapore ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: New Hope Community Services (https://allevents.in/org/new-hope-community-services/22480903) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/8aeedf27ac5f459af643737ceee42225408e86c99fbcd7762831b891c6983814-rimg-w1200-h600-dc184349-gmir.jpg?v=1759246863 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d05d47fe4cbbe9d7cdb295ffb90ab767fc3b8c32a3d22c009f164df8fb894721-rimg-w400-h400-dc033046-gmir.jpg?v=1759246863 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 13 Nov, 2025 at 12:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Civil Service Club @ Tessensohn, Diamond Ballroom, 60 Tessensohn Road, Toa Payoh, Singapore - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 SGD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** New Hope Community Services - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** business, workshops - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Homelessness Learning Forum 2025 (Main Forum) ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Homelessness Learning Forum 2025 (Main Forum)", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/8aeedf27ac5f459af643737ceee42225408e86c99fbcd7762831b891c6983814-rimg-w1200-h600-dc184349-gmir.jpg?v=1759246863", "startDate": "2025-11-13", "endDate": "2025-11-13", "url": "https://allevents.in/toa-payoh/homelessness-learning-forum-2025-main-forum/100001528779954999", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Civil Service Club @ Tessensohn, Diamond Ballroom", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "60 Tessensohn Road", "postalCode": "217664", "addressLocality": "Toa Payoh", "addressRegion": "SG", "addressCountry": "SG" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "1.3158491", "longitude": "103.8561888" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for an eye-opening discussion on tackling homelessness at the Homelessness Learning Forum 2025 - get ready to be inspired!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "SGD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-13", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/toa-payoh/homelessness-learning-forum-2025-main-forum/100001528779954999" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "SGD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/toa-payoh/homelessness-learning-forum-2025-main-forum/100001528779954999", "price": 0, "name": "HLF2025 Main Forum" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "New Hope Community Services", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/new-hope-community-services/22480903", "description": "New Hope Community Services is a social service agency and a member of the National Council of Social Services. Our goal goes beyond providing temporary shelter to the homeless in Singapore; we want to infuse them with real hope to see their lives changed.Our work began in 2003 when four homeless men approached Pastor Andrew Khoo (our Founder & CEO) seeking refuge. Deeply moved by a need that had not been met by social services then, Ps Andrew set up the Shelter for Men-in-Crisis, Singapore’s first shelter for homeless male ex-offenders. A year later, New Hope Community Services was born.Since then, we have steadily expanded to meet the growing needs for temporary shelter in our community. We also recognise that building thriving and resilient families and individuals requires more than just a roof over their heads. As such, we run various services and programmes that help our clients break out of the poverty cycle and achieve long term financial resilience and independence." } ] } ] ```
