AWARE’s Research and Advocacy team is looking to interview single fathers about their experiences accessing public housing after divorce.

Those who meet the following criteria are eligible to participate in the study:

• Singapore citizen or PR
• Divorced, separated, never married, widowed or with spouse in prison
• Has care and control of child(ren)
• No age limit
• Qualifies for public housing, or has ever applied for public housing

This research project will examine issues single parents face, such as:

• Long waiting periods are often involved in applying for a new flat
• Complicated housing regulations which are always subject to change adds to the sense of confusion
• Lack of housing stability that can adversely impact children of such divorces

The recorded interview will be conducted at a time and place of your convenience in December 2015. We will reimburse interviewees with a token sum of $30 at the end of the interview.

If you are a single father who meet the eligibility criteria and would like to share your experiences with us, or if you have any questions about this project, please sign up here or email Megumu at associate@aware.org.sg.

Thank you! Your participation in this project will help us better support single parents in future initiatives.
