City of Tulsa Takes New Steps to Help the Homeless

Coming home is a luxury that is sadly not possible for hundreds of Tulsans. The City Lights Foundation of Oklahoma has been chosen to help.

• Hope for the Homeless: There’s going to be a new low barrier homeless shelter in Tulsa. It’s a referral-based program for unsheltered people who can’t access other available services and temporary housing options. The Mayor’s office asked for organizations to apply, and the City Lights Foundation made the cut to begin the contract process and make plans to move the shelter forward.

• Unlocking Doors: City Lights Foundation has a great history of walking homeless people along the path from living on the streets to handing over housing keys. The low barrier shelter will act as a navigation center to get the process started. While the specific site for the shelter has not be chosen, the estimated capacity for services is around 50-75 households at a time.

Take Your Dog to Philbrook Sunday

PhilBARK Dog Days are here! Take your favorite 4-legged family member to sniff out the gorgeous gardens.

• Something to Wag About: Tail waggers are welcome this Sunday from 9a to 5p. Bring your own bowl to fill at water fountains and enjoy a stroll and outdoor seating. Dog Days will happen every third Saturday this Fall as well. Leashed dogs are allowed throughout the outdoor Gardens but not inside the galleries. Service animals are always welcome.

• Barking Good Time: While Philbrook wants the only rule to be to have fun, there are a few guidelines for your perfect pets. Dogs must be socialized and well-behaved and current on all vaccinations and registrations. Owners need to be ready to clean up after them and hit the waste stations on-site quickly.
