Solution 1: Animal Volunteering
- Positive feedback
- Provide more incentives (i.e. bus passes) in exchange for volunteering
- Every user we interviewed strongly liked the idea
- Unique solution, unlike any current service provided
- Negative feedback
- May need more of an incentive to volunteer (i.e. bus passes)
Solution 2: Mentor Program
- Positive feedback
- Some users thought they would only connect with the mentor if they had previously been homeless/drug addict
- Some users are not looking to connect with people one-on-one
- Some users were hesitant that the relationship would be “artificial” and “forced”
- Negative Feedback
- Most users did not have strong reactions to the idea – neither loving nor hating it
Solution 3: Exercise
- Positive feedback
- Younger user (age 22) liked the idea of having an instructor
- Negative feedback
- Old male user (age 49) liked the idea, but wanted to work out alone, not in a class
- Most users believed it would be intimidating and lacked interest in trying it
