Market Context

Tulsa’s housing shortage isn’t just a data point. It’s a barrier to growth, equity, and opportunity.

Capital Strategy

The Tulsa Housing Investment Fund tackles this head-on with $80 million in flexible capital dedicated to the growing need for affordable and workforce housing.

Developer Priority

We’re laser-focused on supporting local developers who know Tulsa’s neighborhoods best, especially in North and East Tulsa where investment has lagged for too long.

The Tulsa Housing Investment Fund is backed by Housing Partnership Network.

$1.2B

Raised across HPN and its social enterprises

$350M

Active loans and investments under management

$84M

Deployed annually across the United States

The Fund will be managed by the Housing Partnership Network (HPN), a nationally recognized, A+ Fitch and AA- Aeris-rated Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) with over two decades of fund management experience.

Housing Partnership Network (HPN) is a nonprofit collaborative of more than 110 leading affordable housing and community development organizations, proving that strong, independent groups can achieve more together than alone. HPN members include developers, lenders, owners and operators, and homeownership advisors who work to produce and preserve affordable rental and for-sale housing across the country. Together, they scale solutions that expand access to safe, healthy, high-quality homes and provide nearly 500,000 low-wealth families each year with stability and pathways to build wealth.

In addition to national efforts, HPN supports place-based initiatives such as the preservation and transformation of hundreds of single-family homes into affordable rental and homeownership opportunities in the Twin Cities region, and a decarbonization “readiness” program in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles that helps members prepare their housing portfolios for clean energy investment.

As Fund Manager, HPN brings the expertise, infrastructure, and credibility to turn investment into real impact.

Why Now?

This history + this promise:

Tulsa is a city shaped by resilience and rich in history — yet like many American communities, it faces a severe shortage of affordable housing and the infrastructure needed to build at scale. Nowhere is this more visible than in North Tulsa, home to the Greenwood District and the legacy of Black Wall Street — a once-thriving hub of Black prosperity that was destroyed during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and later disrupted again by urban renewal and highway construction.

The Tulsa Housing Investment Fund was created in response to both this history and this promise: to help seed a new era of investment in communities long excluded from opportunity, and to support the development of housing that reflects equity, repair, and renewal.
