While back to school pictures flood our social media feeds with smiling Tulsa-area kiddos excited about the new schoolyear, there are a significant number of students right here in Tulsa County who approach the new year with anxiety stemming from #housinginsecurity. The numbers are sobering - the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) reported 21,988 #homeless students enrolled in Oklahoma schools for the 2021 - 2022 school year. Housing insecurity leads to several negative #education outcomes, reducing the potential of our state's students. Learn more in our blog post on the subject: https://lnkd.in/dYh_vv8d.
