Eviction prevention resolution

Supported the eviction prevention resolution with a story of a depressed woman who lost all her belongings and documents in an eviction; later opposed Councilor Hall-Harper's travel authorization, criticizing repeated focus on white supremacy training and urging the $7.6M TSET money go to a North Tulsa 24-hour emergency center.

Cited roughly 4,000 Tulsa evictions involving about 30,500 children and urged the council to fund the program with philanthropic partners; later supported the travel authorization, saying Black leadership engagement matters.

Angry testimony accusing the city of boarding up and effectively seizing her husband's inherited North Tulsa home, saying the council's eviction prevention talk is the opposite of its actions.

Strongly supported the resolution, detailing Oklahoma's five-day eviction timeline, the 2,000 evicted TPS students, and a District 2 family living in heat without working AC, and noting similar programs work in peer cities.

Supported the resolution from both sides of the rental relationship — as a small landlord and a former eviction-prevention worker — saying legal help and mediation keep tenants housed and accountable.
