About OKNAHRO

The Oklahoma Chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) was created in 1963. Our membership consists of approximately 300 professionals working in 108 housing and community development agencies throughout Oklahoma who administer U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development programs at the local level. Oklahoma NAHRO is one of the leading housing and community development advocates for the provision of adequate and affordable housing and the creation of strong, viable communities for all Oklahomans, particularly those with low and moderate-incomes.

Our state receives housing and community development funds each year for local Housing Authorities to use in low rent public housing and tenant-based rental assistance programs. These programs represent approximately 27,000 rental units.

Oklahoma NAHRO members work for or oversee local agencies and other organizations involved in government-assisted housing or community development. Members also include housing and development consultants, attorneys, service suppliers and vendors, architects, commissioners and non-profit organizations working in like fields.

Oklahoma NAHRO enhances the professional development and effectiveness of its members through nationally recognized training, conferences and publications.
