They may have direct financial assistance that they can offer for paying rent, or be able to refer individuals to emergency crisis programs.
Many of the Oklahoma City rent assistance programs and agencies do have limited funds, and strict criteria that need to be met before distributing funds. In addition, there is oftentimes a waiting list, especially for the section 8 housing voucher program. With that being said, every year thousands of low income individuals, senior citizens, disabled, and unemployed individuals do receive support and payment for rent, security deposits, and other aid. These emergency funds do go a long way towards preventing evictions in the Oklahoma County region.
