Affordable Housing Development Loans
These loans provide gap financing in the form of zero-interest loans for the production and preservation of affordable rental housing, including new construction and rehabilitation projects. Housing is deemed affordable in Tulsa when the rent of a specific property is less than 30 percent of the household’s annual income that is less than 60 percent of the Average Median Income (AMI).
Homebuyer Assistance Grants
The Affordable Housing Trust Fund will provide grants to agencies for homebuyer assistance programs. Increasing homeownership opportunities is essential to expanding opportunities for savings and wealth building, protecting residents from displacement in areas likely to be affected by gentrification, and honoring the City of Tulsa’s commitment to equitable community development.
Landlord Incentive Grants
Through the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, PartnerTulsa funds landlord incentive programs through grants to community partners. Landlord incentives provide rewards and benefits to landlords who provide quality housing opportunities to tenants experiencing barriers to housing, such as a history of eviction.
Rental Assistance Grants
The Affordable Housing Trust Fund provides grants to community partners for rental assistance programs to help tenants become or remain stably housed. Rental assistance will further the City of Tulsa’s mission to create quality housing opportunities for all Tulsans and honor its core value of housing as a human right.
