OCAH Offering Property Insurance Program to Members

The Oklahoma Coalition for Affordable Housing is gathering data from our members to offer a property insurance program for our members. This program is being led by Creighton Haddon and his team at Alliant Insurance Services. With Alliant’s resources and Creighton’s local expertise, we believe they are best positioned to serve our needs to offer this program as a member benefit.

If you’ve previously submitted your data, please resend it to Creighton by Wednesday, 10/15/25, using the contact info below. If you no longer have your previous submission, reach out to Creighton directly to avoid rebuilding it from scratch.

If you haven’t submitted your data and would like to participate, please submit the following by 10/15/25:

2025 HOME Application Final - Approved 7-16-2025

2025 HOME Application Spread Sheets

ACTION Sends Letter to Senate Appropriators on Protecting HOME Funding

On July 17, the ACTION Campaign's Steering Committee sent a letter to the leaders of the Senate Appropriations Committee and its Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development (THUD) Subcommittee urging them to protect funding for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) for federal Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26). While ACTION does not typically weigh in on appropriated programs, the House's THUD Subcommittee proposed to completely eliminate funding for HOME, which is an essential source of gap financing for the Housing Credit. The letter urges the Senate to undo the House's proposal, especially since some 15-20 percent of Housing Credit units per year rely on funding from HOME. Without sufficient soft financing resources such as HOME, Housing Credit production may fall short of expectations and not achieve the full potential of the increase in resources provided under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

OCAH Voting Members are invited to attend a Zoom meeting on Thursday, July 17 at 1:30 PM to provide feedback on the Housing Stability Program (HSP) Application. This meeting is intended to gather input from members who engaged with or supported the application process—what worked, what could be improved, and how OCAH can better support members moving forward. Your feedback will help inform future advocacy and technical assistance efforts. This meeting is for voting members only, and the Zoom link will be provided upon RSVP.

OCAH wanted to share an organizational sign-on letter calling on Congress to fully fund critical affordable housing programs in the FY26 budget, including HCVs, PBRA, and Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs). The deadline for signatories is July 9.

NLIHC State Tribal Partners been working in collaboration with some of our usual co-conspirators (NHLP, NAEH, and CBPP) and industry partners (CLPHA, NAHRO, PHADA, MTW Collaborative, and COSCDA) to drum up broad support for continued funding for rental assistance programs; so far, over 200 organizations have joined, including the NAA and NMHC!
