40 more needy households in western Singapore will benefit from an ongoing assistance scheme run by the South West Community Development Council. Called Adopt-A-Precinct, the programme watches over vulnerable residents in three-room flats and has already reached out to over 110 households in Hong Kah North and Chua Chu Kang. Taman Jurong is the latest division to come under the initiative, which was launched in July last year. As part of the programme, some residents have benefited from home improvement initiatives such as the installation of grab bars. The Adopt-A-Precinct initiative also gets needy residents to participate in health care, enrichment and social wellness programmes. Organisers of the Adopt-A-Precinct initiative said the scheme mirrors the spirit of the Volunteer Youth Corps announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during the National Day Rally - in building a strong, caring and inclusive community. 938LIVE/DL
