Aside from supporting families through our core efforts, we believe the need to go beyond to support other aspiring families in rental communities with potential towards emerging from their current situation through transformative ways. In order for the next generation to break out from the cycle, SCC prides itself on transformative initiatives such as the KeyStart Home Ownership, Education and Learning Support and =DREAMS to help broaden narratives of lower income families in Singapore. =DREAMS is an upcoming aspirational boarding residence, a first in Singapore, for endeavouring co-ed students 13 to 18 years old where students have additional structure educational support in a nurturing and safe environment.
Children have shown positive outcomes when their families are able to own a home and move out of their rental flats. KeyStart was created as a community fund to support home ownership for families with children so they can have a better future.
