Creating a Path to Home
As more resources, programs, and actions are launched by the City of Tulsa that contribute to broader community solutions when it comes to addressing homelessness at the intersection of housing and mental health, it can be challenging to track the numerous efforts being made in this space at the government level.
Path to Home is a three-part initiative that serves as a central source for all programming related to housing, homelessness, and mental health that is more easily recognizable and representative of the cumulative work taking place within the city of Tulsa.
While Path to Home is an initiative spearheaded by the City of Tulsa, Tulsa City Council, and PartnerTulsa, there are so many organizations, nonprofits, businesses and others who are working to make a path to home for Tulsa's most vulnerable residents.
