If Tulsa is going to meet its housing goals we need to be rethinking how we use our available residential land.
At Housing Forward, we believe data is our ally in evaluating existing housing infrastructure in order to inform best practices in city planning and policy improvements.

Increasing desirable housing opportunities to young families, seniors, students and more while keeping development costs low and safety standards high is a win for our communities.
