About BeHeard Movement
The BeHeard movement helps those experiencing homelessness through their mobile drop-in center. It provides showers through a shower trailer, laundry services through a laundry trailer, clothing through a clothing trailer, haircuts through a barbershop bus, and case management. Our vision is to help end homelessness one person at a time one shower at a time. Our mission is to use soul work and social work to benefit the community, businesses, and those experiencing homelessness.
About BeHeard Movement:
BeHeard Movement became an official nonprofit on October 13, 2020. Our mission is to use soul work and social work to benefit the community, businesses, and those experiencing homelessness.
Our goal is simple: to help end homelessness one person at a time, one shower at a time.
Our Mobile Drop-In Center:
We operate Oklahoma's only mobile drop-in center, bringing essential services directly to communities in need. Our mobile units include a shower trailer, laundry trailer, clothing trailer, and a barbershop bus, along with case management, a job program, phone charging stations, and mail services—all on wheels.
At each outreach, we partner with 3-5 local organizations to provide wraparound support. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar drop-in centers where clients must travel to receive help, we flip the model by bringing the services to them. This approach helps us reach underserved areas, increase access, and avoid duplicating existing services**, ensuring that donor support is used efficiently and effectively. Through this innovation, we meet urgent needs while building trust and long-term solutions for our neighbors.
"The BeHeard movement has been at the forefront of humanizing those experiencing homelessness in the Tulsa area. I think many of us have heard stories, volunteered or made donations for people finding themselves in these conditions. But what the Beheard movement does is put a face with those stories, and we are able to experience those stories head on, knowing that these are people in our very own community. My favorite documentary style has been the cooking show- what a fun way for a person to show pride in their work when other avenues for doing so are so limited. I look forward to seeing what else Evan and the team comes up with in the future to encourage these conversations around those stigmatized by their situation.

"The problem with people experiencing homelessness is that the public has forgotten these are their neighbors and fellow human beings. Beheard gives them their identity back and helps to give these neighbors a face and remind us all that these are our fellow Tulsans and deserve our respect, not our pity or indifference."
