The Tulsa Health Department’s Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) includes a dedicated focus on Healthy and Affordable Housing, recognizing it as a top priority for the well-being of Tulsa County residents.
Housing is a key social determinant of health, and Tulsa County continues to face serious challenges in housing quality, affordability, and stability. As of 2023, more than 1,200 individuals in Tulsa County experience homelessness on any given night, highlighting racial and economic disparities in housing access (HUD, 2023).
About 22% of Tulsa County residents live in homes with conditions that negatively affect health, including mold, lead, poor ventilation, and overcrowding factors linked to asthma, injury, and stress-related illnesses (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020; WHO, 2018). Additionally, the county faces a deficit of over 10,000 affordable rental units for extremely low-income households (NLIHC, 2023).
Secondhand smoke exposure in multi-unit housing remains a serious health threat, particularly for children and seniors. Evidence shows smoke-free housing policies can reduce preventable illness and health disparities (U.S. Surgeon General, 2020).
In response, CHIP partners are advancing smoke-free housing efforts (TSET, ALA), expanding access to affordable and supportive housing, delivering fair housing education, and aligning public health, housing, and social services to address structural barriers and promote housing equity (Tulsa Health Department, 2023).

The CHIP is intended to be monitored over time. To track the progress of this initiative, key performance markers are monitored through a community dashboard on the AchieveIt platform. These markers reflect measurable outcomes, and serve as a tool for stakeholders to assess how well collaborative efforts are addressing mental health challenges, reducing barriers to care and improving overall community resilience. The dashboard supports data-driven decision-making and ensures transparency and accountability as Tulsa County works to enhance mental wellness across the population.
