Catholic Charities is partnering with a futuristic construction company to increase affordable housing in Oklahoma City.>> Download the KOCO 5 AppThere are 12 new units, known as Caritas Casitas, that take up a tiny postcard of land in Stockyard City. But their impact is large. Catholic Charities, known for its long history of helping people find affordable housing, transformed a patch of grass into a site for 12 modular, prefabricated homes built by BOXABL, a company that creates affordable homes in Las Vegas.“Our case managers help people acquire emergency housing vouchers, which last for six months — and they think they've won the Willy Wonka golden ticket,” said Patrick Raglow, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. “Sadly, most of them expire before they find a place to live. So 10 of our units will be accessible to those with emergency housing vouchers.”The other two units will be used for transitional housing for women coming out of the Sanctuary Women's Development Center next door.These are only 375 square feet, but they come loaded with a washer and dryer, kitchen, bathroom and plenty of living space. The pocket neighborhood will have a common green space and an outdoor gathering area.Catholic Charities hopes the success of this project will inspire others to replicate it in other parts of the city.
