[Needs should not be identified in term of its specific solutions—eg youths need mentoring, seniors need hospice care, people with disabilities need day care (these are specific solutions we can be in the next column)—Instead, they should be defined in more ‘perennial terms’ because the solutions can change but the needs remain; I don’t need a CD player, or even an mp3 player, I need ‘portable music’ and currently the best solution seems to be Spotify]

efinitions and Scope

Target Population: homeless families

90% of all public flats are owned (HDB)

Those families in the interim rental housing scheme

Some may be in transnational marriages

Length of homelessness: Count the time people are in IRHS or include time when they are looking for a place? Is homelessness absence of roof over head, or more than that?

Reasons: Financial Family conflict

[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.]

Client Segments

[Eg. For at risk youth, some could have behavioural problems and be beyond parental control. Others could merely be disengaged and bored in school. Because it seems like different engagement strategies can be customized to these sub-types, it may make sense to segmentize.]

Size of the Problem

[Size of the universe (size of total potential need/demand for services)]

For the homeless, the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) reported that 93 families were admitted to shelters in 2016 compared with 144 in 2013 [(http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/where-the-displaced-seek-refuge Tai, 2017)]. 71 homeless individuals moved into transitional shelters, compared with 49 in 2013. Another 105 were sent to welfare homes last year. [(http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/where-the-displaced-seek-refuge Tai, 2017)].

[Size of expressed need (those receiving services and on waitlist)]

Desired impact for target group
