Initial testing will be done with service providers, beginning in October 2021. This will enable us to fill the database with existing services and ensure providers are able to easily and consistently update the availability of their services.

After the initial testing phase and fixing bugs, we’ll do a wide release with service providers nationally to increase awareness of available services before opening the referral feature.

Individuals who make referrals to assist survivors with accessing services will begin testing the feature to match survivors with available services that meet their needs and preferrences.

After the initial testing phase and fixing bugs, we’ll do a wide release with advocates and people who make referrals to connect survivors to services across the nation.

The final phase includes the primary release for TIRA - making it possible for survivors to find and screen into the services that they need from anywhere in the nation. Testing and release timeline will depend on how the other phases go.
