The community is invited to attend a panel on housing in OKC as part of the Human Rights Commission’s July 24 meeting.
The panel, titled “Human Rights in Housing: Fairness, Security, and Solutions in OKC,” and the HRC meeting will be held at 6 p.m. July 24 at ReMerge, 823 N Villa Ave. The event is open to all ages.
“We are thrilled to have this much-needed conversation on housing and evictions in our communities,” Ward 2 HRC Commissioner Cindy Nguyen said. “According to Shelterwell, Oklahoma has the 6th highest eviction rate in the nation with one of the shortest eviction timelines. The shortage of fair housing and the skyrocketing cost of living impacts us all. We hope you can join us for this conversation.”
Panelists include:

- Mary Dulan from the Metropolitan Fair Housing Council of Oklahoma.
