Raising the minimum wage in Oklahoma could help with affordable housing

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - Oklahoma has not seen an increase in minimum wage since 2009.

According to the Oklahoma Policy Institute, rent in Oklahoma has risen by 60 percent. This has resulted in an increase in eviction filings and homelessness.

The Oklahoma Policy Institute believes State Question 832 could help with this issue.

State Question 832 is an initiative petition that gives Oklahomans the opportunity to vote for a raise in minimum wage.
