In Singapore, there are 22 night shelters or Safe Sound Sleeping Places (S3Ps), and six transitional shelters, providing temporary refuge for the homeless population as they await the availability of subsidised public rental flats. Shelter space is sufficient, but having a roof to sleep under comes with a slew of rules to follow.

In part two of the series, we follow the lives of six homeless individuals as they face the unexpected challenges of sleeping in temporary shelters. What happens when they break the rules?
