NonDoc Q and A: Ann Felton Gilliland: You Simply Cannot Let Doubt Shrink the Dream

“You simply cannot let doubt shrink the dream.”

That belief has helped guide Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity Chair/CEO Ann Felton Gilliland throughout more than 36 years of service to working families in central Oklahoma.

In a new Q&A with NonDoc, Ann reflects on COHFH’s remarkable growth, the families who have inspired her, Oklahoma’s need for more affordable housing and the faith that has sustained her work.

As Ann prepares to retire at the end of 2026 and be inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame this November, we are proud to share this thoughtful look at her career and lasting legacy.

Thank you to reporter Ashtynn Caldwell and NonDoc for sharing Ann’s story!
