Four resilience pillars provide the framework and vision for these functional areas: 1) creating an inclusive future that honors all Tulsans, 2) equipping all Tulsans to overcome barriers and thrive; 3) advancing economic opportunity for all Tulsans; 4) and transforming city and regional system to improve outcomes. The department implements its strategies through partnership-building, programmatic services, program integrations, strategic coordination, and civic engagement.
