ONE PATH FORWARD
TWO PROJECTS
capital projects:
medical RESPITE
Every day in Oklahoma City, individuals experiencing homelessness are discharged from hospitals with nowhere safe to heal. Even with the best intentions and care, our local hospitals face a heartbreaking dilemma: without stable housing options, patients are often released back to the streets. Without a place to recover, even treatable conditions can become life-threatening—fueling repeated ER visits, poor health outcomes, and unnecessary suffering.
Medical Respite Care changes that.
City Care is currently fundraising $10 million to build a 40-room recuperative care facility for neighbors who would otherwise be discharged into homelessness. This purpose-built space will offer short-term residential care, basic medical support, and intensive housing navigation, so that guests can recover with dignity—and avoid reentering the homeless response system altogether.
Designed by GSB Architects and built by Prgrin, this facility will fill a crucial gap in Oklahoma City’s continuum of care. It’s more than a place to heal—it’s a launchpad toward permanent housing and long-term stability.

According to the National Low-Income Housing Coalition’s 2023 Housing Gap Report, Oklahoma City faces a staggering shortfall of 68,020 affordable housing units for our neighbors with extremely low (≤30% AMI) and low (≤50% AMI) incomes. For every 100 households earning 30% of the Area Median Income or less, there are only 38 available and affordable units.
Over the past 30 years, City Care has built 112 units of supportive housing, representing 13% of Oklahoma City’s total supportive housing stock—and we’ve done so without taking on debt, ensuring that rent remains deeply affordable.
We’re currently fundraising $4 million to build 27 additional units—Phase One of what we anticipate will be a two-phase development in the same neighborhood we’ve invested in for three decades.
This next chapter is being thoughtfully designed by Dinnis Studio and built in partnership with Monarch Properties, trusted collaborators who share our commitment to creating belonging and dignified, lasting housing solutions for our must vulnerable neighbors.
