Two agencies are teaming up to better achieve their larger goal of curbing Tulsa’s homelessness crisis.
A new partnership between Counseling & Recovery Services of Oklahoma and John 3:16 Mission, the Momentum Program was officially announced last week.
The program was conceived, officials said, as a way to better combine shelter services with behavioral health and substance use disorder services, giving homeless clients a better chance at achieving and sustaining independence.
