Understand reported housing funding by program, reporting year, and accounting measure — without assuming that allocations or carryforwards are available cash.
These are separate measures, not a guaranteed sequence. Evidence of one does not establish the others.
Permission or a ceiling.
An adopted action or authorization shows what is permitted. It does not prove that an agreement was executed or money was paid.
An adopted CDBG transferA financing event.
A reported closing describes financing. Read the closing documents and the funder’s role before describing it as City spending.
A reported closing ratification at Amazon FlatsA dated payment or expenditure.
Look for disbursement or expenditure records matched to the program, project and period. A reported program total may not identify a specific project.
CDBG resources and reported expendituresA reported housing milestone.
Read the completion or opening record with its date and evidence status. It does not by itself establish current occupancy or available vacancies.
Milagro's reported openingHow to use this page: Amounts here are historical, dated and sometimes from draft reports. Different financial measures and jurisdictions must not be added together. We do not publish a pooled 'available housing money' total.
No pooled “available money” total. Keep the program, period, financial measure and limits attached to the amount.

City-administered · Tucson + Pima County · FY2026
Paid to property owners and managers. FY2026: July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026. Source: October 20, 2026 PHA report, pp. 1–2.
Our calculation:
$49,539,339 (Tucson)
+ $9,161,950 (Pima County)
= $58,701,289 combined.
Still unknown: Matching receipts and carryover labels need reconciliation. Keep separate from FY2025 expenditures.
Draft report figure

HOME · Draft PY2025 CAPER · July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026
$534,792.63 received less $7,548.34 applied in the draft presentation.
Program income reported as carried forward. It is not a verified balance available to spend.
Still unknown: How much is committed or available to spend remains unknown. Restrictions also need verification.
Reader rule: Reallocations, payments and carryforwards are different measures. Do not add these cards together or infer current household assistance.

Showing 7 research records.
$5,418,132 current-resource subtotal
The published research cites $4,717,936 in CR-15 CDBG expenditures (rounded), a separate reporting measure. The $349,468 program-income component is already included in the resource subtotal and must not be added again.
Important limit: Resource totals and expenditure measures cannot be treated as an unobligated or currently available balance.
$1,500,000 reallocated, not newly awarded
The October 6 Council action report, Resolution 24188 and Exhibit A document adoption of the $1.5 million transfer between CDBG categories, with no increase in total resources. The action report records a 7–0 vote.
Important limit: HUD submission/receipt, implementation, IDIS activity records and actual draws must still be verified. This is not an additional $1.5 million in federal revenue.
Original adopted-action records: SRC-102 · SRC-103 · SRC-104
$3,148,083 resources / $479,243 expended
These rounded figures are reported in the project's historical research summary for the PY2024 CAPER. Matching activity commitments, draws and completion records are still needed.
Important limit: The difference is not proof of free cash, unobligated funds, or assistance available to applicants.
$527,244.29 draft carryforward
The draft CAPER reports $534,792.63 received and $7,548.34 applied in its program-income presentation. The arithmetic produces a reported carryforward, not a cash availability test.
Important limit: Current commitments, draw dates, restrictions and usable balances have not been independently established.
$307,564.13 draft carryforward
The draft separately reports $373,430.46 received and $65,866.33 applied in recaptured funds. These funds are distinct from HOME program income.
Important limit: No unrestricted rental subsidy or current household eligibility is established by this report.
Target definition unresolved / 18 actual households reported
The original PY2024 Annual Action Plan describes the rapid-rehousing target as 30 individuals in its project narrative but 30 households in its goal table; another entry gives 10 households for combined rapid rehousing and prevention. The comparison with 18 reported actual households therefore needs a clarified target definition.
Important limit: The CAPER’s PR-91 shows the entire $48,734 rapid-rehousing budget drawn by September 23, 2025. That later grant-draw checkpoint does not explain the outcome count or establish cost per household.
$58,701,289 FY2026 owner/manager payments
The October 20 PHA report records $49,539,339 in Tucson and $9,161,950 in Pima County payments to property owners or managers for FY2026 (July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026), totaling $58,701,289. It reports $614,215 plus $306,275, totaling $920,490, as unaudited unspent assistance or next-year reserves, while its narrative calls the amount an operating surplus. Those labels still need reconciliation.
Important limit: The FY2025 Single Audit separately reports $62,789,037 in Housing Choice Voucher federal expenditures for July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025. Its accrual or modified-accrual measure is not FY2026 cash receipts. The near-match to the draft’s approximately $62.8 million narrative is a source-year question, not proof of an error. No usable-cash inference; reconcile matching periods and accounting categories.

$8,700,000 approved
$5 million for gap funding plus $3.7 million for housing stability. A separate additional $1 million request was tabled indefinitely on September 8, 2026.
Approval does not establish spending or households served.
$2,986,331 in approved scopes
$2,009,932 for home repairs plus $976,399 for eviction-prevention and legal services, for July 2026 through June 2029. These are existing-grant components, not additional revenue above the federal award.
Full execution, reimbursements and actual household outcomes remain unverified.
$78,172.27 cumulative reported outlays
USAspending reports $11,519,567.21 in obligations for the City’s entire PRICE award. The latest outlay reporting period is August 2026.
Not County spending or a current available balance. Do not add cumulative monthly rows or add County components to the full award.
The $207,436 home-repair line is listed under County CDBG agencies. CDBG is a federal HUD program, but the memo doesn’t identify the specific award. It separately lists $111,045 as the County-funded portion of Affordable Housing Fund repair and weatherization work.

When housing funding is announced, what happens next? Each answer separates what the records show from what still needs checking. “Unknown” means not established by the records reviewed here. A project’s status may have changed since its source date.
Documented: HUD’s FY2026 allocation file and Tucson’s FY2027/PY2026 Annual Action Plan agree on four allocations:
Together, the allocations total $9,613,482.81. The City separately forecasts $200,000 in CDBG income and $500,000 in HOME income. Each program has its own eligible uses and service area.
Unknown: How much has been received, committed or spent is not established by these allocations and forecasts.
Next: Match receipts and spending to completed activities and aggregate household counts for the same reporting period.
Source date: HUD FY2026 allocations; City plan May 2026, covering July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027. [1, 2]
Documented: The Arizona Finance Authority’s $10 million volume-cap allocation and the City’s bond authorization concern the same financing and must not be added as separate funding. Posted Resolution 24206 states adoption on November 4 of authorization for up to $10 million in bonds. The IDA’s October 15 action report records its earlier final approval. The November 4 legal action report confirms a separate 6–0 vote adopting Resolution 24206 under Consent Agenda Item J, with Cunningham absent/excused. Council action report, reviewed November 9.
Unknown: Bond closing, proceeds received and signed assistance contracts remain unverified. Blank tracker closing fields do not prove that no closing occurred.
Next: Obtain closing documents and use-of-proceeds records.
Source date: AFA tracker October 7, 2026; Council agenda November 4, 2026. [3, 4]
The separately documented $500,000 Pima County preservation award is distinct from these bond-financing records.
Documented: TPCH submitted a $22,827,346 total FY2026 Continuum of Care request on September 29, 2026. It includes renewals and other categories, not just new funding. The submission is not a final HUD award. [12, 13]
Next: Compare final awards with the request. HUD’s November 3 notice says awards are required by December 1, 2026. [14]
