To help the most vulnerable in our community, the City of Oklahoma City has rolled out a “housing first” strategy to address homelessness. Attendees of the Chamber’s June forum will hear how the $12.5 million plan, “Key to Home,” aims to significantly reduce the number of unsheltered homeless by 75% by rehousing people currently living in encampments. The Chamber Forum will be held at 11:30 a.m. June 14 at the Petroleum Club of Oklahoma City, which is located on the 35th floor of the BancFirst Tower, 100 N. Broadway Ave. Participating in a panel discussion will be: • Aubrey McDermid, assistant city manager City’s new homelessness initiative focus of June Forum

• Tammy McGhee, director of system transformation, Clutch Consulting In 2022, the annual Oklahoma City Point-in-Time (PIT) count, or the number of residents experiencing homelessness during a 24-hour period, totaled 1,339. Of those, 473 were considered “chronically homeless” and 121 were
unaccompanied youth. While this is a slight decrease from the 2020 PIT count, the city is working with community organizations to implement a new strategy to help those experiencing chronic and unsheltered homelessness. The cost to attend the June Chamber Forum is $45 for Chamber members and $55 for nonmembers. To register, visit okcchamber.com/ juneforum.
