Housing - Revitalize OKC

"Housing is the most fundamental need for our residents, and it's the largest single expense for any family. Though we have a reputation for being affordable, that doesn't mean our city is affordable for everyone. And because we are growing rapidly, that affordability is being challenged. For all these reasons, we need a clear strategy to build more homes, preserve the homes we have, and create neighborhoods where people want to live, work, and raise their families."
