Safe Move Tulsa phase one spending and outcomes

Summary

The city's encampment-closure and housing program has housed 134 people toward a 300-person goal, with all $6 million in city funds and $4 million in private funds encumbered by September 2026. Councilors want line-item spending reports, a housing placement map, and clarity on who pays for YWCA case managers when the $1 million grant sunsets.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

$6 million in city dollars plus $4 million private will be fully spent by September 2026; continuing the program will require new funding.

✅Who benefits

People leaving encampments get housing and case management; downtown businesses and neighborhoods near closed camps see less long-term camping.

⚠️Who could be affected

Neighborhoods outside downtown — including the 51st Street corridor — report displaced people moving into their areas while outreach capacity lags.
