OKC is committed to serving all people. City employees, including police officers and firefighters, focus on their core responsibilities to provide essential services. City employees do not ask about immigration status when providing services. This ensures everyone can:• Access City services• Call for help in emergencies• Report crimes and cooperate with OKCPD• Live and work in the community
Each January, homeless service organizations conduct a 24-hour count of residents experiencing homelessness, known as a Point-In-Time (PIT) count. This provides a snapshot of homelessness in the community. Every city that receives federal funds for homeless services is required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to conduct this count every other year. However, the City of Oklahoma City conducts an annual count to obtain better data, analyze trends over time and more effectively focus limited resources. Please find past annual Point-in-Time reports for Oklahoma City below.
