STRUCTURED ENGAGEMENT
We start with people— by listening and building trust through regular meetings, clear agendas, shared notes, and consistent follow-up. This approach ensures communities stay informed, connected, and supported every step of the way.
RESOURCE ALIGNMENT
Help connect plans to the right partners and funding opportunities. By aligning community goals with available resources, we turn strategy into action.
EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
Through education, and outreach, we provide tools and guidance that inform policy and support implementation. No matter the stage, we meet communities where they are and help them move forward.
STRATEGIC PLANNING
Using data from engagement, we create community profiles that highlight supply, demand, vulnerabilities, and priorities. These insights turn into road maps that guide short-term planning and next steps toward sustainability.
RESEARCH
Oka' assists in identifying and securing state, federal, and tribal grant funding for water projects.
