Staff of Design Resources for Homelessness are available for consultation with permanent building projects that assist people experiencing trauma and/or homelessness. We can provide practical strategies on ensuring positive user experience in a new or renovation project and work in advance of or alongside your project’s architecture and interior design team.
A range of services are available depending on projects needs including programming (information gathering to determine needs through interview/observation or other techniques), generating practical project recommendations informed by research, preliminary or design-development floor plan consultations with project architects and designers, color palette and lighting consultation, conceptual design of custom architectural features, and guidance on furnishings and fixtures that promote a positive environment while withstanding the rigors of wear.
We generally establish an agreement with an hourly fee documented by time sheets and a not-to-exceed number of hours so that everyone is comfortable. Please contact us at designforhomelessness@gmail.com to discuss the needs of your project.
