AWARE calls for careful matching of tenants in HDB’s Single Room Shared Facility Scheme
Singaporean women’s rights group AWARE has expressed concerns over the Single Room Shared Facility Scheme pilot project launched by the Housing & Development Board (HDB), which offers privacy of one’s own room but communal facilities.
AWARE suggests tenants be matched sensitively to minimise conflicts, noting its previous experience running a single-mother family project. It also recommends the government repurpose the scheme for vulnerable single women who face violence and lack means to rent on the open market.
