How we work

Step one

The Oasis Alliance will receive and review referrals from local government social service agencies and other non-profit organizations that match our criteria.

STEP TWO

Our lead designer will coordinate a walk-through of the current or future living space. An interview is conducted to learn more about our survivor and gather information that will help us design a space unique to them.

Step three

The team will curate a plan to gather necessary resources to complete the project. Coordinating schedules; Shopping and collecting furniture and other essentials; Collaborating with other professional services; Securing funding.

Step four

Installation day! This is when we have access to the living space and our team executes the mission. Depending on the size of the project we’ve been able to have the reveal concluded on the same day.

step five

The most important step, our survivors begin their healing in the comforts of their own personalized oasis.
