At Treasured Homes, we don't just provide housing—we create homes.

AboutTreasured Homes

At Treasured Homes, we believe that everyone deserves a home that is clean, safe, and comfortable. Housing is more than just a roof over your head—it’s a fundamental human right that should provide dignity and security. Unfortunately, many low-income housing options fall short, leaving residents in spaces that are neglected, dirty, and uncomfortable. We are here to change that.

Founded with a mission to provide affordable housing that meets the highest standards, we are committed to creating living environments where people can thrive. Our work begins in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where we collaborate with incredible partners like the Tulsa Day Center, and the Cherokee Nation. Together, we strive to ensure that every unit we offer is a place we would feel proud to call home.

Homes of Hope

Bringing Affordable Housing to Tulsa

At Treasured Homes, we believe that everyone deserves access to safe, clean, comfortable, and affordable housing. Our “Homes of Hope” program is a key initiative in bringing this vision to life. Through this program, we will be acquiring and renovating two apartment complexes in Tulsa: one with 14 units and another with 20 units. These apartments will be revitalized to meet our superior living standard, ensuring high-quality living conditions for our tenants.

 

Once renovated, the units will provide housing for individuals and families through partnerships with Section 8, the Tulsa Day Center, and the Cherokee Nation. Our goal is to help alleviate the housing crisis by offering dignified, affordable housing to those in need, making a tangible difference in the lives of low-income residents in our community.

 

We are excited to kick off this program in spring of 2025 and look forward to continuing our mission of providing clean, safe, and affordable homes for as many people as possible.
