Housing

Introduction

Tulsa is facing a significant housing shortage. Studies, such as the Tulsa Housing Study, indicate that Tulsa needs to develop nearly 13,000 new housing units over the next ten years. This demand is particularly acute for affordable housing, with a shortfall of 6,000 units.

Online Housing Tracker

City leaders have launched a Housing Tracker, which tracks final inspections as part of the Certificate of Occupancy process to help identify the progress the City is making on increasing affordable housing stock. The online platform tracks statistics of new housing units created since December 2, 2024.

Mayor Nichols' Housing Goals

Tulsa lacks an essential 6,000 affordable units for all Tulsans to have a place to call home. Nearly half of Tulsa's renters, a staggering 46%, struggle under the weight of being cost-burdened. Multiple initiatives and strategies are underway.
