1Oversight framework

Three layers, one record

A practical structure that can be implemented across residential programs without losing nuance or resident voice.

Layer one

Resident reporting and intake

Accessible reporting channels, trauma informed intake, and clear expectations about what happens after a concern is raised.

Layer two

Program review and verification

Structured review of policies, staffing, physical environment, and prior incidents, with findings documented in a shared record.

Layer three

Coalition decision and follow up

Coalition members determine required actions, timelines, and follow up reviews, with residents informed of outcomes in plain language.

Data and governance spine

CRAS operates on a shared data model that connects incidents, program reviews, and standards. This lets the coalition see where harm is recurring and where interventions are working.

Governance is documented in a charter that defines roles, voting structures, and conflict of interest rules for all coalition participants.
