About Us
Where oregon is Now
At White Rabbit Project, we envision a world where people aren’t rushed toward “success,” but instead are met where they are and supported through change—one deliberate step at a time. We believe stability begins with safety.
Phase 1: Down the Rabbit Hole
Rapid Stabilization
Immediate safety and calm after crisis. This phase focuses on predictable housing, routine, trust-building, and nervous-system regulation so individuals can step out of survival mode.
Phase 2: Through the Looking Glass
Next Step Housing
A shift in perspective and growing independence. Residents move into supportive housing that encourages stability, choice, and continuity, while beginning to see themselves as tenants—not temporary occupants.
Phase 3: Choosing the Door
The Final Move
Self-directed, long-term housing on the individual’s terms. There is no graduation—only choice.
Participants select the path that fits their life, with optional light-touch support if desired.
Our vision is a community where housing is a foundation, not a finish line—and where following the White Rabbit leads to stability, dignity, and lasting choice.

White Rabbit Project
Phase 1: Down the Rabbit Hole—Rapid Stabilization
Purpose: To provide immediate safety, reduce crisis exposure, and create a calm acclimation period for individuals entering housing from highly unstable environments. Key Elements: Immediate removal from unsafe or unpredictable conditions (street, car, eviction) Stable, predictable residential setting Trauma-informed acclimation period Pet—inclusive and personal belongings—friendly (or pet respite option) Mental health supports and life-skills / organization assistance at entry Focus on reducing survival-based behaviors and hyper-vigilance. Emphasis on safety, routines, trust-building, and nervous-system regulation. Operational Structure: White Rabbit Project Site Navigators oversee occupancy, stability, and coordination Direct case management provided through subcontracted partners (counties, CCOs, large nonprofits). High-touch support expected and planned for in this phase.
Outcomes: Stabilization, regulation, and readiness to engage with the next environment.
Phase 2: Through the looking glass phase
Purpose: To transition residents from stabilization into intermediate housing that supports increasing independence while maintaining support continuity. Key Elements: Movement into multiplex units, shared single family homes, or similar settings. Continued case management through partner agencies. White Rabbit Project provides housing history and support letters to overcome rental barriers. Reduced intensity of supports as stability increases. Choice-based pacing—residents may move forward, pause or adjust direction. Core Concept: This phase represents the moment when life begins to feel different. Stability exists, routines are forming, and individuals begin seeing themselves as tenants—not temporary occupants.
Outcomes: Demonstrated housing stability and readiness for long-term placement.
Phase 3 Choosing the Door—The Final Move
Purpose: To support the transition into long-term, self-directed housing aligned with the individual’s goals. Key Elements: Permanent housing placement (private rental, family reunification, subsidized unit, etc.) Optional light-touch follow-up or referral-based support Full agency and choice retained by the participant No requirement to continue within White Rabbit Project housing Core Concept: This is not “graduation.” It is choice. The individual selects the door that fits their life—on their terms.
Outcomes: Sustainable, self-directed housing stability.
