Tulsa Housing Challenge

Initially announced in Mayor Bynum’s 2022 State of the City address, the City has exceeded the mayor’s two-year $500 Million Housing Challenge goal in under one year, with the total sitting at $512.43 million as of November 2023. This captures all types of housing projects (new construction, renovations, conversions) and a variety of single-family, multi-family, and everything in-between. Work to grow that number continues.

If you represent an organization that has an interest in housing development, we would love to hear from you on how you wish to join the cause. Take the Survey

If you want to join this historic effort or have a specific housing project that you wish to discuss, please email housing@cityoftulsa.org and someone will be in touch with you shortly.
