Creating a better Tulsa by transforming lives and communities.
Through the provision of safe, affordable, decent housing in tandem with supportive services we seek to empower Tulsa’s most vulnerable to achieve self-sufficiency.
We believe we owe a responsibility to residents, stakeholders and self to uphold the Mission and Vision of THA by exemplifying the following core values:
Accountability – We take ownership of our individual roles and understand that our contributions are critical to the success of the organization.
Respect – We will honor our residents, fellow team members and the community in our words, actions and service.
Community – We will create a sense of belonging for all, welcoming and celebrating each other’s unique qualities, cultures and contributions.
Integrity – We will do what we say we will do. We will operate with ethical and moral uprightness and will remain committed to transparency.
Teamwork – We understand that we can accomplish so much more as a team than we can as individuals. We are committed to working together to achieve our goals.
Professionalism – We will exude a professional demeanor in all our interactions with residents, our team and the community. We will carry ourselves in a manner worthy of our calling.
Service – We exist to serve others. We will provide the highest level of service to all with whom we engage.
