Did you see Sunday's Op Ed section of the Tulsa World? Our Executive Director writes a poignant piece highlighting the generosity of Tulsans, exhibited through the Oklahoma Standard of helping one another, and providing assistance before a crisis hits. What kind of community do you want to be?

Josh Geppelt: Tulsa has compassion; let's act before a crisis Too often, we wait until a crisis before we act. The challenge is not only helping people exit homelessness but helping fewer neighbors experience it in the first place, the Restore Hope Ministries director writes.

The has been discussing and is working on potential funding for a Landland-Tenant Representation Program. This program could provide emergency rental assistance, utility payment assistance and representation for tenants in eviction court; all with the goal of preventing homelessness.
Tulsa is one of the highest counties with eviction filings per year. A proposed resolution will allow the City Council to formally support a program without committing funding and provides direction for a program without formally creating one.

With 3,000 students affected each year by eviction filings, we believe this resolution could be the start of meaningful work for Tulsa's citizens as well as landlords. If you agree with this resolution, we ask that you call or email your city councilor to voice your support.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost in New York City, Washington D.C. and Shankville, Pennsylvania. The day that changed our country forever. We also remember those survivors and first responders who have died in the year's since due to illnesses received while serving their city and country. May we never forget what happened.
