Independence St. The Tulsa Housing Authority opened the first two of six buildings, and the complex will start welcoming tenants next week. The $36 million project sits on the old Sunset Plaza property, which the Housing Authority bought in 2023 and demolished.

Twenty of the 106 units are set aside for people exiting homelessness. Taxpayer money pays their rent for one year while residents get services, which the city is paying for with COVID federal funds. The city also used its housing accelerator team for the first time to speed up permits. FOX 23 reports there's no market-rate component: it's all affordable.
