What changes for residents
Your rent stays income-based and your right to return after construction is protected. Leases move to the new ownership structure.
Rebuilding homes families can grow up in
Much of Tulsa's public housing was built decades ago. Development Services finances and delivers the work that keeps those homes standing — and replaces the ones that can no longer be repaired.
Program
Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD)
RAD lets THA convert older public housing to a more stable form of federal rental assistance, unlocking private financing for repairs and replacement.
What changes for the building
Recapitalization funds new roofs, HVAC, windows, kitchens, accessibility upgrades and, in some cases, full replacement.
How it's financed
Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, private debt and THA capital combined in a mixed-finance structure.
Who's involved
THA, HUD, the City of Tulsa, lenders and resident councils at each affected community.
For residents
If your community is being redeveloped
THA notifies affected households in writing, holds resident meetings and assigns a relocation contact. Nothing about your household changes without notice.
