Girls’ Homes will receive"post-care" support of one year, up from the current two months, for a smoother transition and better reintegration into society, said Minister for Social and Family Development Desmond Lee on Wednesday .

“Some youths have shared that they are lost and at times not able to approach any trusted person to seek advice and assistance after their discharge from MSF Youth Homes," MSF added. “If issues arise, they can help these youth manage and resolve them early. The nature and intensity of support will be tailored to the needs of these youth,” Mr Lee said.He added that those with additional needs will be referred to partner agencies for support.

There were 106 new admissions to the Singapore Boys’ Home and 52 to the Singapore Girls’ Home last year, according to statistics on the MSF website, last updated in Feb this year.Statutory protection for children and young persons will also be strengthened, Mr Lee said.
