Singapore: Singapore identified 496 people sleeping rough in a single-night street count conducted in mid-July 2025, according to a government report released on Friday.
The report on the Street Count of Rough Sleepers 2025 showed the figure was 6.4 percent lower than the 530 recorded in a similar count in 2022.
The Ministry of Social and Family Development defines "rough sleepers" as individuals sleeping in public spaces, regardless of their housing circumstances, including those who have no homes as well as those who have homes but face difficulties returning to them.
Of those identified in 2025, 85 percent were male and more than half were aged above 50, the report said.
The one-night count was followed by a survey conducted from July to August 2025 to better understand the profiles of rough sleepers and their reasons for sleeping outdoors.
