Pivot is a nonprofit in Oklahoma City that offers programs such as counseling, educational and vocational training, housing, and intervention and diversion services for youth aged 12-24, who are homeless or are otherwise at-risk. The pair also visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum to pay tribute to the federal employees who lost their lives in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.\n\n\u201cSecretary Turner\u2019s visit to Pivot allowed him to witness the incredible work being done in our community to provide support services for foster youth. First Lady Melania Trump has made foster care a pivotal part of her platform, and organizations like Pivot are vital to that mission,\u201dsaid Congresswoman Bice. \u201cI also appreciate his willingness to pay tribute to the individuals who lost their lives in the Oklahoma City Bombing. If you want to understand Oklahoma City, it is essential to visit this museum, and witness how the city came together in its aftermath to create the Oklahoma Standard. I want to thank the Secretary for visiting my district, and I appreciate the Trump Administration\u2019s continued support for Oklahoma.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt was a privilege to see firsthand the extraordinary work Pivot is doing to help vulnerable youth. Through their tiny homes village and wrap around services, they are helping Oklahoma\u2019s youth move from homelessness to self-sufficiency,\u201d said HUD Secretary Turner. \"I am grateful to Congresswoman Bice for her steadfast commitment to empowering local organizations that know their communities best and are delivering real results.\u201d\n\nSecretary Turner continued, \u201cWhile in Oklahoma City, it was a profound honor to visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial to pay tribute to the 35 HUD employees who lost their lives in the bombing. America is a resilient nation, and we will never forget the precious people who perished on that day. I am proud to support the HUD family in Oklahoma and all across our Nation.\n\nContact: Wesley Harkins\n\nPhone: (202) 225-2132", 1, "2026-08-11T05:54:29Z", "2026-08-11T05:56:25Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bice.house.gov/media/press-releases/bice-welcomes-hud-secretary-scott-turner-oklahomas-fifth-district"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7316810078918934, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
