Tiny Homes, Big Impact for Foster Youth | Oklahoma City News

Tiny homes in Oklahoma are giving foster youth a fresh start—thanks to nonprofit Pivot, which just landed a big endorsement from HUD Secretary Scott Turner. He called the model “incredible” and praised its responsible use of taxpayer dollars, even announcing a $193 million federal initiative to expand housing support for foster youth nationwide. But here’s the twist: while the White House touts this success, it’s also proposing deep cuts to HUD’s community block grants—the very funds that fund programs like Pivot. Still, Turner and Congresswoman Stephanie Bice are pushing hard to scale this model across the country. And hey, you can help too: Pivot’s “Pivot Preserves” jam program turns vocational training into real income—and tasty treats.
