Making Homelessness Rare

Our Mission is to Help Make Tulsa, OK a City Where No One Sleeps Outside.

Some wandered in the wilderness, lost, and homeless. Hungry and thirsty, they nearly died. “Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he rescued them from their distress. He led them to a city where they could live. PSALM 107:4-7

Since purchasing the 17 acres of raw land in late fall of 2022, we’ve been planning, creating, developing, building, and overcoming many challenges. We are now totally open, with 63 tiny homes, Helmerich Community Center, and the Restoration Farm. By early summer of 2026, we’ll be welcoming our final neighbors, with 63 formerly chronically homeless people living in safety and dignity.  

Eden Village is permanent supported housing, which means we do way more than just provide a home, as important as that is. We have a professional staff of six, hundreds of volunteers, and relationships with many local non-profits working together to provide help and restoration for our neighbors. It truly does take a village to make Eden Village successful.

Making a Difference

WHAT DOES LIVING AT AN EDEN VILLAGE LOOK LIKE?

Who lives there and how does it benefit our city?

Upon acceptance of application, a chronically homeless individual will move into their own tiny home within a community of their peers within a gated community, supported by on-site support services including, but not limited to, a psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse, psychiatric case managers, life skills coach, faith-based counselors, qualified mental health providers and a community center where the residents can both work and interact with other residents, guests and volunteers. It is up to that individual to become an active member of the community, provide rent and be a good, law abiding, neighbor. Residents are welcome to live in an Eden Village as long as they are a benefit to themselves and the community.

We will have support of professionals and volunteers in the medical, mental, physical, social, and spiritual areas to come into our community working and serving our residents. We hope to have job and business skills learned through our Business Incubator onsite.
