Location-Based approach means counting those served at a health center that is located in or immediately accessible to a public housing site. The National Center for Health in Public Housing provides TA on UDS. Community Health Partners for Sustainability, another BPHCsupported TA provider, has many TA offerings for this Location-Based reporting on line 26, table 4 (Webinar, FAQ, 1-pager). 14
