There are homes that fall under the definition of a 'social residential home', but are not under the new licensing regime. What are some examples of such homes, and why are they not under the new licensing regime?
Examples of such homes include: (i) Crisis Shelters, (ii) Transitional Shelters, (iii) Community Youth Hostels and (iv) Temporary Shelters. As part of MSF's risk-based regulatory approach, we will not license such homes under the SRHB for now. This is because unlike clients in SRHs that will be licensed when the Bill is implemented, clients in these homes are independent and therefore less reliant on the home for 24/7 care.
