Despite Growing Homelessness, Oklahoma Lawmakers Look to Punitive Measures
SUMMARY: On January 23, volunteers in Norman, Oklahoma, conducted a Point in Time count to survey and assist the unsheltered homeless population, which rose by 25% from 2023 to 2024 due to rising rents and housing shortages. Concurrently, Oklahoma lawmakers proposed legislation to expand a camping ban, subjecting the homeless to fines and jail time. Notably, Senate Bill 484, targeting city funding for homeless services, could significantly affect local shelters. City Care’s new contract with A Friend’s House raises concerns over potential funding cuts, emphasizing the need for supportive housing as a cost-effective solution to homelessness in the community.
