Tulsa Weather Coalition
Protecting Tulsa’s Most Vulnerable Residents During Extreme Heat
The Tulsa Weather Coalition is an innovative initiative designed to prevent death or worsening of health problems among low-income individuals who have heat sensitive medical conditions and do not have access to air conditioning during the extreme heat of Tulsa summers. Those who qualify to receive assistance are granted a room-sized air conditioner and free installation by our staff.
To receive an air-conditioner, individuals must meet all of the following residency, income, mobility and medical criteria and complete an application with Tulsa Weather Coalition staff:
- No other air-conditioner in the home
- Live in Tulsa County
- Enrolled in a public assistance program or meet low-income guidelines
- Have a qualifying medical condition that becomes life threatening in extreme heat and is verified by a doctor’s statement
- Limited ability to get to a cooler place during the hottest part of the day
To request an air conditioner application, installation agreement, and/or landlord/homeowner permission form, please contact us.
