What changed
The City of Tulsa says the 2026 Love Your Block cohort includes $70,000 for resident led neighborhood projects, technical support, and a dedicated fellow.
Why it matters
TREW analysis: The selection creates a potential path from neighborhood observations to visible block level work, but the public application and selection process has not been announced.
What to watch
Watch for eligibility, project geography, selection criteria, an application path, and the City's implementation timeline.
What Tulsa announced
Tulsa has been selected for the 2026 Love Your Block cohort, a national program designed to help residents lead small scale projects that improve the places where they live.
According to the City of Tulsa, the program will bring $70,000 for neighborhood projects, technical support from the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins University, and a dedicated fellow to help organize the work. The City's announcement points to projects such as clearing vacant lots and reclaiming public spaces, with Riverwood identified as one area where partners have already been active.
What residents still need to know
The selection is meaningful because it gives residents a possible channel for turning neighborhood observations into visible, block level work. The next practical question is how Tulsa residents will propose projects and how the City will select them.
The City's announcement did not include an application, selection schedule, or award timeline. TREW will update this coverage when those details are released.
