A Way Home for Tulsa (AWH4T) is the collaborative effort to end and prevent homelessness across Tulsa County, Oklahoma. Housing Solutions serves as the designated lead agency for AWH4T, coordinating resources and strategies to address the needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
Since its establishment, local homeless service agencies, public housing authorities, healthcare organizations, the Veterans Affairs office, nonprofit organizations, and community stakeholders have been working together to improve programs, policies, and practices. This collective effort ensures that Tulsa County can provide permanent housing and wrap-around supportive services to as many individuals and families experiencing homelessness as possible.
Currently, AWH4T includes over 50 partner organizations collaborating to implement initiatives grounded in the Housing First approach. This model prioritizes quickly moving people experiencing homelessness into permanent housing, followed by supportive services such as case management, healthcare, substance use counseling, job training, and other resources. This approach helps individuals and families stabilize in housing, improve their quality of life, and achieve long-term success.
Partnership for A Way Home for Tulsa is always open. Partner agencies work together to implement programs to end homelessness in our community. Our programs are based on a Housing First model. This model means that Tulsans experiencing homelessness are moved into housing as quickly as possible and then provided with supportive case management services and any mental or physical health services they might need to help them stabilize in housing.

A Way Home for Tulsa (AWH4T) operates under a collaborative governance structure designed to foster transparency, accountability, and collective decision-making among its partners. As Tulsa’s Continuum of Care (CoC), AWH4T is guided by federal regulations and local priorities to ensure an effective, equitable, and person-centered approach to preventing and ending homelessness in our community.
The AWH4T Leadership Council serves as the governing body of the CoC, providing strategic oversight and direction. Comprising representatives from nonprofit organizations, public housing authorities, healthcare providers, government agencies, and individuals with lived experience of homelessness, the Leadership Council ensures that all voices are represented in decision-making.
The A Way Home for Tulsa (AWH4T) Leadership Council meetings are open to the public and held on the second Tuesday of each month at 1:30 PM at Boston Avenue Church. Meeting materials, including agendas and supporting documents, will be made available online one week prior to each meeting. While every effort is made to adhere to the posted agenda, adjustments may be necessary during disaster response efforts or high-work volume periods, such as the HUD CoC NOFO competition.
