🏠🗳️ Housing is on the ballot every time you vote.

City councils, county commissioners, state lawmakers, and other elected leaders shape whether Oklahomans can find a safe, stable, affordable place to live. Today you have a voice in choosing them.

Before you head out today:

✅ Polls are open 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. If you’re in line by 7:00, you can vote.
✅ Confirm your polling place and see your sample ballot: okvoterportal.okelections.gov
✅ Bring an accepted form of ID. Check the State Election Board’s website for the list.
✅ Vote all the way down the ballot. Local races often have the biggest impact on housing where you live.
✅ Offer a neighbor a ride. Transportation shouldn’t keep anyone from voting.

Whether you rent, own, or are still looking for a place to call home, your voice matters. Housing matters. Go vote, Oklahoma!

Three days, over 430 people, and one shared mission: housing for Oklahoma. 🏠

The 2026 Oklahoma Housing Conference at the Omni Hotel OKC kicked off with an opening reception, followed by a full day of sessions. At the opening luncheon, we heard from Ashlea J. Quinonez, HUD Regional Administrator for Region VI. Stockton Williams, Executive Director of the National Council of State Housing Agencies, and Tyler Parette, Executive Director of Housing Forward, joined us for the legislative luncheon. In between, there were packed sessions, main-stage moments, and an exhibit hall full of conversations.

Thank you to our 30+ sponsors, our speakers, exhibitors, and everyone who joined us. We couldn’t do it without you. 💙🧡

Behind every great conference is an even greater team. 💙

As the 2026 Oklahoma Housing Conference wraps up, we want to take a moment to thank the people who made it happen: our conference committee. Their months of planning, problem-solving, and showing up (often on top of full-time jobs in housing!) are the reason these three days came together.

To our committee members, board, volunteers, and staff: thank you for your time, your ideas, and your heart. We couldn’t have done it without you.

And to everyone who joined us at the Omni Hotel OKC, thank you for being part of it. Housing matters, and so does this community. 🏡

— Your Oklahoma Housing Conference team
