The programme “A Roof Overhead for The Underprivileged” was initiated in October 2019 by Homevest Sdn Bhd (then KYY Empire Sdn Bhd).
The campaign started with supporting the single mother community. Based on reports, Homevest were made aware of the big gap of inequality in Malaysia the underprivileged, especially in their income and access to opportunities. With the economic situation of the country slowing down as a result of the pandemic which began in 2019, it was observed that there was a huge increase in unemployment in the community.
During the pandemic, many people lost their job due to the closure of businesses. These underprivileged sought for assistance by reaching out to charity organisations to request for assistance. Their plea reached Homevest because we are collaborating with the organisations to offer support to the underprivileged.
As a company that is an active CSR campaign, Homevest decided to reach out to provide them with much-needed shelter and assistance during the pandemic. Subsequently, Homevest supported the frontliners, tenants and many others in need in the form of rental subsidies, free shelters and education needs.
