Restore Hope Ministries

This year's Point-in-Time Count results reflect meaningful progress across Tulsa, including a significant reduction in unsheltered homelessness and more neighbors successfully connected to housing.

We’re grateful for the many outreach workers, shelters, housing providers, case managers, and community partners helping make that possible.

At the same time, the overall number of people experiencing homelessness remained largely unchanged, reminding us that many households continue facing housing instability even as others are successfully rehoused.

That’s why prevention matters.

Keeping families and individuals stably housed before homelessness occurs must remain a critical part of Tulsa’s long-term strategy.

Thanks to our friends at Housing Solutions for putting the data together in a easy to read format.

Today, we honor and thank the many Americans who have given the ultimate sacrifice in support and defense of our nation. We remember their families, the Gold Star Families, who forever have an empty chair at the table.
