Programs built to be funded and measured.

Book a 20-minute call

How to start and how it is priced

Your first step: A program design and budget
How it runs: A diagnostic, one priority deliverable, then a defined build or an agreed monthly rhythm.
How it is priced: After a 20-minute call, you receive a written quote for the first piece of work: the deliverable, review dates and one fee, based on the number of awards or records involved and the deadline. Ongoing work is priced as a fixed monthly fee for agreed capacity. No commission or contingency.
Before work begins: Software, specialist services and travel are listed separately. Work begins only after you accept the written scope and fee.
Next step: Start a conversation See how a first month works

Workforce development and reentry

Workforce development and reentry support

Workforce leaders need a credible proposal, a deliverable program and records that support both performance reports and reimbursement. Hisham’s Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) experience includes proposals, program design, participant eligibility, performance reporting and budgets. His reentry experience includes Community Advisory Board service connected to AB 109 public safety realignment.

From opportunity to operating plan

Praxis can help connect funding requirements to a service model, partner responsibilities, a budget and a reporting calendar. The scope starts with the award and the local workforce board or contracting agency’s requirements.

Evidence that follows the program

Define who documents enrollment, services, credentials and employment outcomes. For WIOA work, organize the records behind applicable measures such as measurable skill gains, credential attainment and employment after exit.

Finance that follows the funding

Connect staff time, expenses, invoices and deliverables to the correct funding source. Keep restrictions and cost allocation clear when government contracts and private grants support the same program.

Questions

Common questions

Is the practice limited to violence prevention?

No. Hisham’s experience spans youth development, mentoring, workforce pathways, technology access, public health and community partnerships. Prevention is one part of a broader program-design and funding practice.

What is your CalVIP and DOJ/BJA experience?

In a county role, Hisham wrote the successful $5 million California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) proposal. He also wrote the $1.5 million U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance (DOJ/BJA) proposal, awarded in 2022. His work covered the scopes, subawards, partner coordination and reporting.

Can you help us stand up a hospital-based program?

Praxis can support service scopes, partner agreements, referral requirements, budgets, reporting and implementation coordination. Your clinical teams retain care decisions and your organization’s authorized teams control access and operating protocols.

How do you involve community partners?

Praxis begins with local knowledge, stakeholder conversations and a clear decision process. The resulting plan identifies partner roles, resource needs, measures and how feedback changes the work.

Do you work on domestic violence prevention?

Yes. Hisham served on the board and Finance Committee of the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence and wrote and managed housing funding for survivors. The scope can connect education, outreach, partner systems and funding.
