Housing for Health Where was the project? A trial project was conducted in Brooklyn, New York City. 10 apartments were chosen to see if the Housing for Health method could be applied to this urban environment. Who helped?

At this stage, you may treat your interviews as stakeholders. When you wrap up: summarize key context points, tell your interviewers what you’re going to do next and ask if there’s anything unaddressed that they’d like to see.
