HOUSING. HEALING. WHOLENESS.
A NOTE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
NEED THIS The Association’s Housing Program addresses the issues of homelessness and lack of affordable housing by utilizing the Housing First model to help vulnerable individuals achieve housing and support them on their journeys into recovery and out of poverty. Housing First is a national, evidence-based model that has been proven to be the most successful way to end homelessness. This approach recognizes that individuals can best address personal challenges and pursue self-sustainability when the safety, security and stability of a home have been established. Additionally, Housing First is rooted in the theory that client choice is valuable in both housing selection and supportive service participation and that exercising that choice increases the likelihood that individuals remain housed and enjoy an improved quality of life. View the Housing Fact Sheet* Housing Fact Sheet* here.
OUR LEADERSHIP
With tenacious leadership, our Chiefs ignite a powerful response to the most difficult challenges endured by our state’s citizens in need. They, along with nearly 200 MHAOK employees, comprise the state’s premier boots-on-the-ground nonprofit whose expertise and work exists primarily at the intersection of mental illness and homelessness.
Because of your generous support, they are able to facilitate the life-saving services our team provides to more than 30,000 Oklahomans each year – navigating the rapidly growing need for mental health support and fighting to end homelessness.
Mental Health Association Oklahoma programs are innovative, evidence-based, and most importantly, they’re effective. They include housing (committed to the Housing First model), street outreach, street medicine, peer-to-peer recovery services, employment services, suicide prevention, mental health services assistance, pro bono counseling, criminal justice advocacy, youth mental health and support groups.
We maintain a spotlight on the need for affordable housing, amplifying the voices of those with lived experience. As we continue to expand our safe and affordable housing footprint through rehabilitation projects like Taylor Ridge, we fight with urgency to champion for those who can’t. MHAOK’s homelessness advocacy efforts span from local to state levels as we work to shatter stigma, eliminate discrimination and create effective solutions to ensure that every Oklahoman is safe, healthy and has the opportunity to thrive.
