In collaboration with Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency, researchers at The University of Oklahoma have launched a website dedicated to the updated Oklahoma Housing Needs Assessment.
The Housing Needs Assessment website offers an interactive tool that estimates the need for affordable housing in Oklahoma. Key features of the site:
- Documentation of affordable housing needs across the entire state
- Explanation of how much housing is needed
- Explanation of where is the housing needed.
The site will be useful for policymakers, public agencies, developers, finance entities, analysts, local planners, and others involved in producing or operating affordable housing. The study defines affordable housing at or below 120% of the HUD adjusted median household income.
To access data on the website, users must create a user name and password. Welcome videos help users navigate the site's extensive features.
