Planting Roots in Tulsa: Francisco’s Homeownership Story
Congratulations to new Habitat homeowner, Francisco!
Francisco arrived in Tulsa five years ago through Teach For America, eager to make a difference in the lives of local students. His passion for education inspired him to stay beyond his initial commitment, and he is now a dedicated full-time teacher with Tulsa Public Schools.
Owning a home was a big goal for Francisco—one that meant both financial stability and a deeper connection to the community he serves. Through hard work and determination, he recently achieved this milestone, and we’re honored to be part of his journey.
Education Begins With HOME: Down Payment Assistance for Tulsa Teachers
On January 29th, we joined Tulsa Public Schools, the City of Tulsa, the Tulsa Regional Chamber, and the Tulsa Area United Way to launch Education Begins with HOME—an innovative new program designed specifically for Certified Tulsa Public Schools Teachers.
This $5 million down payment assistance fund provides qualifying teachers with up to $50,000 in down payment assistance to purchase a home through Habitat’s homebuyer program. The initiative strengthens long-term stability for educators while helping the district recruit and retain top teaching talent.
