Some Oklahoma City public housing receives below acceptable grade from inspectors
SUMMARY: The Oklahoma City Housing Authority has received a failing inspection score of 7 out of 100 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for nearly 450 scattered-site homes. Inspections, conducted under new HUD standards, identified issues such as clogged drains and missing smoke detectors. The housing authority acknowledged that the score is below acceptable levels but noted that standards for deficiencies have changed, impacting their rating. They are actively pursuing financial avenues to fund renovations. In contrast, other larger properties within the authority, such as the Senior Center and McGuire Plaza, received higher scores of 93 out of 100.

Skimming devices draining Oklahomans SNAP benefits
SUMMARY: Oklahoma Human Services is raising alarms over increasing SNAP benefit thefts, a problem that’s escalated since 2022. Nine skimming devices were recently discovered in local convenience and grocery stores, allowing criminals to capture card data and PINs to clone SNAP cards. As a result, fraud cases have surged, with nearly 10,000 requests for replacement benefits this month alone, leading to delays in reimbursements. SNAP recipients are advised to change their PINs and utilize an EBT app for security. To combat this issue, Oklahoma plans to introduce chip cards by next summer, enhancing security against card skimming.
