Survey on Vacant and Abandoned Properties and how they effect Neighborhoods

Neighborhood Alliance recently hosted two forums with the City of OKC on the topic of abandoned and neglected properties in OKC. They were two of the most popular workshops we have ever held, with preregistration filling to capacity within a day. Russell Claus, OKC’s Director of Planning and the impetus for the forums, remarked, “I guess we hit a nerve.”

These two sessions were only the beginning of the conversation on Abandoned Properties. There is still a lot to be learned and a lot of citizens to be heard. To help this conversation along, we have provided some links below that we hope you will find useful:

House Bill 1893 - this legislation in this bill will allow the city and to take more forceful steps toward meeting this growing threat head on
Presentation given by Russell Claus, City Planning Director - some really good info here
Online Version of survey to send and share - please take this survey and encourage your neighbors to do so as well (www.surveymonkey.com/s/OKCVacant)
Printable version of survey given at forum - the survey on paper to share with your neighbors who don’t go online
Email your Abandoned Properties Stories - share our story with us!  We’ve heard good stories and bad, but they ALL help us understand the problem better. (AbandonedProps@nacok.org)
Please make the time to take this survey and forward the link to your neighbors. This problem is growing in OKC and costing each of us.
