Transforming lives through a place to call home.
OCHA’s purpose is to advance equity and inclusion for people with low, moderate, and middle incomes by providing affordable housing and housing assistance. That assistance should exceed the standards and expectations for subsidized housing by being accessible to everyone, be delivered through quality environments, and include opportunities for residents to access supportive services.
We’re currently working with the City of Oklahoma City and the Key to Home Partnership to better understand the challenges of residents who are most in need, understand the types of housing features and services that are of the highest impact and connect with the populations in OKC who will most benefit from expanded and improved public housing.
Our team is currently conducting a study on supply and demand to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and needs of the number of Oklahoma City residents who require assistance. We are also identifying the housing features and services that have the greatest impact and reaching out to the populations in OKC who stand to benefit the most from improved public housing.
With the help of MAPS 4 Housing funds, we aim to expand the network of housing to support over 500 individuals experiencing homelessness through the creation of supportive housing units. Additionally, we plan to preserve at least 1,500 units of federally assisted housing to prevent homelessness and provide opportunities for workforce households by building 150 homes in high-cost areas.
