For Immediate Release--- June 28th, 2023 

For More Information Contact: Commissioner Carrie Blumert (405) 713-1501

Oklahoma City - The Oklahoma County Home Finance Authority (OCHFA) recently awarded $2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA funds) to local nonprofits and housing developers, an effort led by Commissioner Carrie Blumert.

This investment in safe, long-term, affordable housing will help thousands of county residents in the coming years.  These ARPA dollars were made available to OCHFA by an allocation from Oklahoma County Commissioners in 2022. 

“Affordable housing is a basic human right. This historical investment reflects my continued commitment to ensure safe, accessible, and affordable housing options for all our residents in District 1” said Commissioner Blumert. 

This funding has been allocated to five local entities that are leading innovative, affordable housing initiatives in Oklahoma County. The recipients of the funding include Rose Rock Development Partners, Progress OKC, Community Action Agency, Collective Strategies, and Urban League of Greater Oklahoma City.

This funding signifies a big step toward bridging the affordability gap and helps to ensure that individuals and families across Oklahoma County have access to safe and sustainable housing. By investing in these projects, OCHFA and Oklahoma County aim to foster a more inclusive and equitable community where all residents can thrive and prosper.

To learn more about the affordable housing projects supported by the OCHFA, please contact Executive Director David Feisal dfeisal@ochfa.org.
