Tulsa Housing Authority Holds Open House At Newly-Renovated Apache Manor

People got a sneak peek Thursday at what their future home could look like at one of the Tulsa Housing Authority’s newly-renovated complexes.

Potential residents stopped by the Apache Manor Open House to check out the changes. The insides of the units have been renovated with brand new finishes and amenities.

Apache Manor and Sandy Park are the first two complexes to undergo major renovations paid for through the Rental Assistance Demonstration program. It’s a nearly $40 million project for both renovations

The Tulsa Housing Authority said the inside of the units can be compared to traditional market apartments, so individuals and families on low-income can experience that kind of lifestyle.

Features include new kitchen appliances, cabinets, a new playground and an on-site storm shelter. They also offer units with up to five bedrooms.

Charletha Sanders said she heard about the complex through a family member. She filled out an application at the open house and hopes this will be her new home.

“I really love it. The inside is amazing. The way that they did everything is really nice, it’s got nice little hardwood floors and everything. And it’s very much spacious, so I love that,” said Sanders.

“Sometimes I think it’s hard to believe that the interiors of these units, this subsidized housing, could offer something this nice and so it’s an opportunity for us to say yes. After these renovations, what we’re offering is very comparable to a traditional market rate unit,” said Ginny Hensley, Vice President of Communications for the Tulsa Housing Authority.

Sandy Park will host its own open house on Thursday, July 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
