A ''need'' also implies that there is a ''desired outcome'' that has yet to be met. Describe the area of need (e.g. employer willingness to hire, work readiness etc). It is tempting to define needs in terms a specific solution—eg youths need mentoring, dying seniors need hospice care. But these are not needs, they are actually specific solutions to address those needs, which should be defined in more perennial terms. This is because the solutions can change but the needs generally remain largely stable. E.g. I don’t need a cassette tape player, CD player, or MP3 player, which are specific solutions to address my more perennial need, which is the need for portable music. Current solutions include streaming services like Spotify.

* '''Desired outcomes''': It is important to articulate what the ideal or desired outcomes for this particular need area should be, otherwise it would be unclear what the gaps will be. The trick is to use adjectives to articulate a statement about what is the desired state of affairs. People with disabilities need viable jobs (that pays a living wage), or desirable careers (with progression and career development)? In terms of the example above: If the desire outcome is no longer portable music (because most solutions now are portable), then a different quality like 'searchable' or 'discoverable' music would set a new criteria for what is desired.

[Still under construction, but for one overview of Singapore's LGBT community, including organisations, see Roy Tan's comprehensive listing here. The knowledge architecture of this page is meant to facilitate sense-making in terms of understanding needs, assessing gaps and why they are there, and offer leads to possible solutions. Where there are existing repositories and resource directories, we need only to point towards them and act as an index. Where there are none, then it is useful to collate and catalogue.]

Overview

This overview provides a synopsis of the current knowledge base. Having considered all the information in the LGBTQ pages: 1) What are the priority issues that deserve attention, 2) What are opportunity areas that community or voluntary organisations can already take action on, and 3) What knowledge gaps deserve further investigation?

Definitions

LGBTQ

[identify target group and define who is included or excluded in this category: you want to get it just right: not too broad that it includes those you may not want to include, and not too narrow that it excludes those you want to help. You might be too exclusive: e.g. defining ‘vulnerable’ seniors as ‘low-income’, but you may want to include those without family support. Therefore, you may want to define vulnerable as ‘poor and/or with low family support’. You might be too inclusive: e.g. ‘latchkey kids’ may include those who have working parents, or those with serious behavioural problems.]
