How We Became Homeless In Singapore | Homeless In Singapore - Part 1/3 | Full Episode

Hidden in plain sight, the homeless population in Singapore is largely forgotten and misunderstood. The assumption is often that they have done something wrong in their lives, but homelessness is often a complex issue. Even people who have worked their entire lives in good jobs can end up homeless.

In part one of the series, we meet three homeless individuals to find out how they ended up being homeless and how they are surviving without a home, in a tightly-regulated city like Singapore.
