Find the right housing for your family

Four ways to get help with rent in Tulsa, explained in plain language. If you are not sure which fits, the walkthrough on this page will point you to a starting place in about a minute.

Your options

Four ways THA helps with rent

You can apply to more than one program. Being on one waiting list does not remove you from another.

Public housing at a THA community

You rent an apartment or townhome owned by THA. Rent is based on your household income. Family sites have yards, playgrounds and, at several communities, an on-site Resource Rec Center for kids.

Best for families who want a stable home in a THA community

Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)

You rent from a private landlord anywhere in Tulsa that accepts vouchers. You pay a share of the rent based on your income and THA pays the rest directly to the landlord.

Best for families who want to choose their own neighborhood or school

Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA)

Assistance is attached to a specific apartment building rather than to you. You apply to that property's waiting list and the reduced rent stays with the unit.

Best when a specific building fits your family's needs

High-rise apartments

Apartment buildings for elderly residents and residents with disabilities, with elevators, accessible units, community rooms and on-site staff.

Best for seniors and residents needing accessible living
