Stepping into city news, the debate about how Tulsa serves its homeless community is front and center once again. Mayor Monroe Nichols is openly frustrated with the state’s new Operation SAFE, saying there was no coordination with local agencies and no clear plan for what happens to people after they're moved from downtown encampments. He insists Tulsa will stick to its methodical approach, connecting people with showers, shelter, and services like Housing Solutions and Family and Children Services. On the positive side, since Tulsa began directing folks to Be Heard, about 1,200 rides have helped people access showers and housing resources.
Despite these efforts, Family and Children Services, a vital local agency, could soon be squeezed. The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health is making significant funding cuts across the state, with Family and Children Services in Tulsa set to lose roughly $1.5 million. President Adam Andreassen says they’ll keep services as stable as possible for now, but warns that deeper cuts could force tough decisions if funding gaps aren’t filled soon.
For anyone looking for work or a new start, Oklahoma’s Supreme Court just upheld Governor Stitt’s requirement that state employees return to in-person work. Remote flexibility is ending for most government workers, except for a few part-timers, which could mean changes for state offices across Tulsa.
In real estate and housing, Tulsa’s tiny home initiative on North Peoria is growing steadily. City Lights Village has now reached 31 residents and expects to fill all 63 units by year's end, aiming to give more Tulsans stable housing and a shot at rebuilding their lives.
The weather today feels classic mid-September—sunny and hot, with highs near 95. Drink extra water and use shade if you’re attending events like the Tulsa State Fair preview activities this evening. Our extended forecast keeps us warm through the weekend, so don’t put away short sleeves yet.
Turning to business, we’re seeing new cafes and retail spaces pop up along Cherry Street and Riverside, with one beloved bakery announcing a second location at 61st and Yale. On the flip side, a long-running record store near Kendall Whittier is closing its doors this Friday, so drop by if you want to support them one last time.
On the job front, recent listings show about 3,800 open positions within Tulsa city limits, especially in healthcare, warehousing, and education. School-wise, Owasso just passed a $169 million bond for facility upgrades and technology, a big boost as classes get underway. Tulsa Union High’s volleyball team notched a win last night against Jenks, capping a strong week in local sports.
For public safety, police report a peaceful twenty-four hours overall. One noteworthy incident: state agents raided an illegal marijuana grow operation in East Tulsa yesterday, detaining seven and turning two over to ICE for possible immigration violations. No threats to the broader community were reported.
And before we close, here’s a feel-good note. In North Tulsa, volunteers gathered to build a new playground at Crutchfield Park, bringing together neighbors and even a few retired teachers to help give local children a safe place to play. Community spirit truly shines bright here.
