It was a groundbreaking day for a new housing project in Tulsa near Virgin and Wheeling.

Millennium House is a project by the non-profit Neighbor for Neighbor agency. In addition to being energy efficient and affordable to low income families, the housing will feature a storm-resistant structure. Neighbor for Neighborâ€™s Don McCarthy: "I just felt like our money could be better spent if we could come up with a house that would be storm resistant, energy efficient, no place in Tulsa has this."

Safety features for the homes include a bathroom doubling as a safe room, and a roof secured with hurricane clips.
