✨ Celebrating the people who keep the mission moving ✨

If you’ve ever wondered how Tulsa County Social Services keeps all the pieces moving behind the scenes… meet Jessica. ❤️

Jessica Price, our Office Manager, is truly one of the steady hands of our department.

The end of the fiscal year in county government is not for the faint of heart. 😅 While our teams continue serving clients every day, there is a whole world happening behind the scenes — purchase orders, contracts, inventory, reporting, budgets, documentation, and details that have to be done right.

And Jessica shows up for all of it.

This year alone, she has helped us strengthen contracts, complete annual inventory, navigate staffing transitions, improve processes across departments, pull important analytics, and keep countless day-to-day operations running.

Jessica is thoughtful, dependable, detail-oriented, and one of those people who quietly makes everyone around her better.

She is also a proud member of the Deaf community and has shown our team what perseverance, problem-solving, and dedication look like in action. Her perspective makes TCSS stronger.

Jessica — I hope you know how much you are valued. You may not always be the person standing in front of the story, but so many success stories happen because of the work you do behind the scenes.

Thank you for helping us meet needs, restore hope, and walk beside others as they rise. 💙 🤟

☀️💦 Summer memories are made of moments like these.

On Thursday, our Transitional Living Center (TLC) families enjoyed a field trip to the splash pad at Chandler Park — a day full of bubbles, laughter, water, and kids simply getting to be kids. ❤️

Families experiencing homelessness often carry worries that most of us never see. While parents are working hard toward employment, housing, savings goals, and a more stable future, we believe it’s also important to create opportunities for their children to experience joy, play, and a sense of normalcy.

Because childhood doesn’t pause during hard seasons.

Days like this give families a chance to breathe, laugh together, make memories, and remember they are surrounded by a community cheering them on.

A huge thank you to our TLC team and community partners who help make experiences like this possible for our families. Every bubble, every smile, every moment matters. 🫧💙

A safe place. A fresh start. A mother’s determination. ❤️

When S.E. arrived at the Tulsa County Transitional Living Center, she and her two children were fleeing domestic violence and needed one thing first — safety.

Like many families experiencing homelessness, one setback quickly led to another. Without reliable transportation, S.E. lost her job and found herself trying to rebuild while also working to create a stable future for her children.

While at TLC, S.E. got to work.

✔️ She secured tribal TANF assistance
✔️ She applied for employment opportunities
✔️ She searched for permanent housing
✔️ She continued taking steps forward for her family every single day

Her hard work paid off — not only did S.E. receive a job offer… she received two, including one with childcare support.

Then came the call she had been waiting for: the apartment she applied for was approved, and she could move in the very next day. 🏡

S.E.’s stay with us was short, but sometimes a safe place to land is exactly what someone needs to rise.

TLC provided shelter and support — but S.E. brought the courage, determination, and love for her children that carried her across the finish line.

Congratulations, S.E.! We are so proud of you and excited for this next chapter. 💙

🏠 TLC Success Story: M.C.’s Journey Home

Success doesn’t happen overnight. Sometimes it happens one small decision at a time.

When M.C. came to the Tulsa County Transitional Living Center, he had a goal: rebuild stability and move forward. Like many people experiencing homelessness, there were obstacles along the way — transportation challenges, employment changes, budgeting decisions, and unexpected setbacks.

But M.C. kept showing up.

With support from his TLC Case Management team, he created a plan and put that plan into action. He searched for new employment opportunities, worked toward financial stability, and learned tools to help him be successful long after leaving TLC.

During his time in the program, M.C. worked on building a realistic budget, improving his understanding of credit, making thoughtful financial decisions, and developing everyday skills like planning and shopping for groceries.

Through TLC’s savings program, M.C. committed to setting money aside from his income and preparing for the responsibilities that come with independent housing. He wasn’t just working toward getting an apartment — he was building the foundation needed to maintain it.

His hard work paid off.

M.C. secured employment, saved for his move-in expenses, and officially moved into his own apartment. 🎉

Stories like M.C.’s remind us that progress is not always a straight line. Progress looks like applying for one more job. Reviewing your budget. Saving another paycheck. Learning a new skill. Asking for support. Trying again.

At TLC, we believe in providing more than shelter. TLC provides structure, resources, and encouragement while our clients do the hard work of creating lasting change in their own lives.

Congratulations, M.C.! We are so proud of your determination and all the steps you’ve taken toward your next chapter. 💙

Meeting needs. Restoring hope. Walking beside you as you rise.

🏠 Things You May Not Know About TLC…

Before someone walks through this door, it may look like an empty room.

But we see something different.

We see a fresh start. ❤️

At the Tulsa County Transitional Living Center, a room is just the beginning. Our clients work alongside our team to rebuild stability one step at a time through:

✔ Setting goals
✔ Building savings
✔ Working toward employment
✔ Searching for stable housing
✔ Creating a plan for what comes next

Because our goal isn’t simply to provide a place to stay.

Our goal is to help people move forward. 🏡

Every empty room represents two stories:
✨ Someone who found their next chapter
✨ Someone new who gets the opportunity to begin theirs

Meeting needs. Restoring hope. Walking beside you as you rise.

When someone is working to rebuild their life, progress doesn’t always happen all at once.

Sometimes progress looks like…

✔ Replacing an ID that was lost along the way.
✔ Starting a new job and receiving that first paycheck.
✔ Building savings for the future.
✔ Showing up tomorrow and taking the next right step.

At the Tulsa County Transitional Living Center, every step forward matters. Our team walks alongside clients as they set goals, overcome barriers, and prepare for long-term housing stability.

Because success isn’t just the day someone receives their keys. 🏡

It’s every step they took to get there. ❤️

💵 Things You May Not Know About TLC…

At the Tulsa County Transitional Living Center, our clients don’t just receive a room — they build a plan. ❤️

One important part of that plan is learning to create financial stability.

While at TLC, clients work alongside their Housing Specialist Case Manager to:
✔ Set employment goals
✔ Build savings
✔ Search for safe, stable housing
✔ Prepare for long-term success

Because overcoming homelessness isn’t just about having a place to stay tonight — it’s about having the tools and support needed for tomorrow. 🏡

Our goal isn’t a longer shelter stay.

✨ Our goal is a successful exit. ✨

🎶 “Shrinky D***s, I love to make ’em shrink!” 🎶

Who else remembers watching their tiny masterpiece curl up in the oven and magically transform?! 🙋‍♀️✨

Tonight our friends from Discovery Lab brought a little throwback fun (and a whole lot of science!) to the Transitional Living Center. Our clients got creative designing their own Shrinky D***s and then watched science do its thing as heat transformed their artwork into something completely new. 🖍️🔥

And honestly… isn’t that a little bit like life? Sometimes the process feels uncomfortable, sometimes things look like they’re curling up instead of coming together — but transformation is happening. 💙

We are so thankful for community partners who remind our clients and families that joy, creativity, learning, and new memories are part of rebuilding too.

Because at TLC, we aren’t just helping people find housing — we’re helping them rediscover hope. 🏡✨

Thank you, Discovery Lab, for another night of smiles, science, and a little bit of childhood nostalgia!
