CASE STUDIES

Owasso, Oklahoma: Providing a Safe and Stable Community for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

A New Leaf, a nonprofit in Tulsa, responded to the housing difficulties faced by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DDs) by opening The Village at A New Leaf, a 62-unit affordable housing community in Owasso, Oklahoma, in 2022. The Village offers a variety of housing options, including single-family homes, apartment buildings, and a dormitory for Transition Academy students.

Residents, earning less than 60 percent of the area median income, receive support in achieving greater independence through workforce training and life skills programs. Funded mainly through private donations and low-income housing tax credits, The Village has already enabled many residents to live independently, setting a promising precedent for addressing housing challenges for individuals with I/DDs nationwide.
