Workforce Consulting: Household Stability Strategy
Stop Funding Activity. Start Building Systems.
Strategic consulting for government agencies, workforce boards, employers, and nonprofits building household-stability systems on the Durability Economy Workforce Architecture.
The system measures individual employment. When the household is unstable, employment does not stick, and the revolving door turns. The system calls that personal failure. It is not personal. It is architectural.
Our Architecture
Every engagement is built on the Durability Economy Workforce Architecture, a systems-level design connecting employer engagement, parent economic mobility, child development and early learning, household stabilization support, and systems coordination.
Who This Work Is For
Workforce Boards
Redesigning programs around household stability rather than job placement.
Employers
Building retention systems that account for the whole household.
Government Agencies
Shifting policy from individual compliance to household outcomes.
Foundations
Funding systems that create generational prosperity rather than temporary gains.
How We Work
Diagnose
Assess current systems, identify where the household is invisible, and map the failure patterns.
Design
Build a household-centered strategy on the Architecture.
Deploy
Implement with your team, track household outcomes, and build systems that last.
What We Build
Strategic Planning
For 2Gen Economy programs.
Architecture Implementation
For household-focused workforce systems.
Organizational Transformation
From reentry to reinvention.
Measurement and Evaluation
Tracks household stability at intake, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
The Durability Index
Consulting engagements include the Durability Index, a teaching and tracking instrument that follows household stability across five domains at intake, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. The Index turns "how many placements" into "what are we actually producing."

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about working with Khalil Osiris Consulting.
Who is this consulting practice designed for?
Our consulting practice serves government agencies, workforce development boards, corrections and reentry organizations, foundations and funders, employers building fair chance programs, and nonprofits working with justice-impacted populations. If your work touches reentry, workforce development, or household stability and you are not getting durable results, this practice was built for you.
What makes this consulting approach different from other workforce or reentry consultants?
Most workforce and reentry consultants work within the existing paradigm. Our approach is built on a fundamentally different architecture: the Durability Economy Workforce Architecture. Khalil Osiris brings 27 years of lived experience, field-tested methodology, and a corrective systems approach that most consultants do not have access to.
How long does a typical engagement take?
Engagements range from a half-day strategy session to a 12-month advisory retainer. For Architecture implementation projects, the typical timeline is 90 days to 6 months from diagnosis to deployment. We work with your team to determine the right scope based on your goals, organizational capacity, and resources.
What is the Durability Index?
The Durability Index is a teaching and tracking instrument, included in every consulting engagement, that follows household stability across five domains at intake, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
How do I know if my organization is ready for this work?
You are ready if you have tried the standard approaches and are not seeing durable results. If your placements do not stick, your recidivism numbers have not moved, your funders are asking harder questions, or your leadership team senses that the problem is structural. Start with a discovery conversation and we will assess your readiness together.
Can Khalil Osiris speak at our conference or leadership event?
Yes. Khalil Osiris is an active keynote speaker on topics including the Durability Economy Workforce Architecture, fair chance hiring, reentry systems reform, household stability, and criminal justice transformation. Learn more about keynote speaking.
