How to use this page: The reported number of project apartments is not a vacancy count. Subsidy designations can overlap the same physical unit. Historical milestones do not establish current applications or occupancy.

Documented Project Milestones
This is a curated selection from published research, not the full internal workbook. Each entry links to a previously published finding or evidence question and identifies what remains unverified.
Search scope: Search and topic filters apply only to the curated catalog entries below. They do not search the detailed project questions or outcome cohorts below, the full site or source documents. Read the detailed project questions.
The County’s PO2500016491 packet uses the name “Amazon Flats” but describes $749,625 for conversion of a 30-room motel into 30 studios. That physical scope is the Amazon Motel conversion, separate from the 59-apartment Flats construction project. The April 8, 2026 EPHD legal action report records a 5–0 ratification of Amazon Flats’ financial closing.
Important limit: The action report does not supply the closing package or precise closing date, signed assistance contracts or actual Flats occupancy. The published County packet has blank signature and covenant lines; executed documents, completion reporting and certificates of occupancy remain record targets. Do not add 59 apartments, 39 proposed PBVs and two HOME-designated units as distinct homes.
City notices describe 74 Craycroft and eight Lee Street apartments. The 82 Section 8 project-based vouchers concern the existing units, with RAD and Section 18 classifications also described for Craycroft.
Important limit: Not 82 newly constructed units or 82 available vacancies. Executed HAP contracts, occupancy and application procedures remain unverified.
City announcements describe a housing-delivery milestone, crediting El Pueblo Housing Development and Gorman & Company and a combination of new construction and adaptive reuse.
Important limit: A reported opening is not an independently audited resident count or evidence of currently available apartments.
The City reports the 30-studio motel conversion completed in September 2025. County contract PO2500016491 uses the name “Amazon Flats” but describes $749,625 for the 30-room motel-to-studio conversion, separate from the 59-apartment construction project.
Important limit: Published signature and covenant lines are blank. Executed documents, completion evidence, current vacancies and retention remain unverified.
A comparable project-spending total is not established in this summary.
The 24 apartments and 25 announced households remain unreconciled. The permit register lists a November 15, 2026 expiration. The issue date, current permit validity and vacancies remain unverified.
The City permit page shows an October 15, 2026 application for TC-CFO-1026-00207. The register listed the permit as Issued when reviewed November 7 for temporary occupancy associated with Tucson House’s 15th-floor Level 4 renovation. The issue date remains unverified. The register lists a November 15, 2026 expiration. The October 20 PHA report says the renovation was 30% complete, the 15th floor was finished and residents were moving back.
Important limit: The October 16 announcement’s 24 apartments and 25 households remain unreconciled. Neither the permit register nor the later narrative verifies a completed move count, new admissions or current vacancies. The original certificate and any conditions or renewal still need verification.

Project Plans, Assistance and Remaining Questions
Selected questions updated November 7, 2026. Latest evidence review; earlier source dates and remaining limits are retained.
Resident privacy: Questions about assistance and outcomes seek aggregate counts, not residents’ identities or individual records. See our privacy standard.
Posted: . Source dates are identified below.
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: The plan is to rehabilitate 82 existing homes: 74 apartments and eight duplex units. El Pueblo Housing Development (EPHD) also describes a Rental Assistance Demonstration conversion, which changes their subsidy structure.
Federal records show an environmental milestone and a submitted financing plan for the 82-unit preservation project. The RAD tracker reviewed November 7 lists “Financing Plan Submitted” without a closing date. Closing, proceeds and signed assistance contracts remain unverified.
Unknown: Which budget and bedroom count govern? The November presentation lists 124 bedrooms in its summary and 85 in its detailed slide. The summary cost entry is $33.9, without a millions label; the detail gives $34.7 million.
Next: Confirm the governing budget and bedroom count, then document public contract status, aggregate occupancy totals and published application and referral rules.

What Assistance Is Authorized for El Portal Homes?
Documented: The August 18 PHA packet supports the up-to-120 El Portal voucher plan; its attached amendment is a public-comment draft, and the local action was adopted as amended. The October 30 memo estimates 181 planned voucher units across two phases, not delivered new homes. Separately, the City’s October 1 newsletter reports 41 households placed in existing El Portal apartments over the summer with Housing First assistance. That report does not establish implementation of the planned voucher expansion.
The memo forecasts about $1.15 million in additional annual rental revenue across both phases, subject to rent reasonableness. A second phase is anticipated in a subsequent plan year, subject to vouchers, program limits and required plan approvals.
Unknown: Final HUD approval, signed assistance contracts and dated totals of households receiving the new PBV assistance remain unverified. The October 20 PHA report anticipated related HUD approvals during October–December; that expectation is not approval. Final effective operating policies, completed inspections and rent determinations remain to be verified.
Next: Obtain aggregate counts of contracted units and households assisted, with reporting dates, inspection-completion totals and effective program policies. Do not request resident names, unit-level addresses or individual case records.
Source date: City memo October 30, 2026, pp. 1–2; it reports the August 18 plan approval. [7]
These dated program outcomes describe specified groups of people and reporting periods, not physical project milestones. Each record retains its own denominator, exclusions and limits. Follow-up seeks aggregate counts, not individual resident records.

Exits to Permanent Housing
21 / 36
58.3%
Of the leavers included in this measure
July 1, 2025–June 1, 2026
Each tile represents one recorded leaver. The counts are given in text below.
21 permanent-housing exits (solid teal)
15 other included exits (pale fill)
8 excluded from the calculation (hatched)
44 leavers before exclusions
Not everyone served. Not a Countywide rate. Score points are not success percentages.
Recorded returns to homelessness within 12 months after a permanent-housing exit.
Earlier exit cohort: June 1, 2024–June 1, 2025. Do not subtract this from the exit rate.
What “Exit” and “Return” Mean
“Exit” means leaving the assistance program with permanent housing recorded as the destination. The later recorded return does not establish its cause or whether someone chose to leave housing.
Recorded Openings Filled Through Coordinated Entry
July 1, 2025–June 1, 2026. This describes the referral route into those openings, not access for everyone waiting.
Source: TPCH FY2026 scorecard, final July 13, 2026, and FY2026 methodology, pp. 24–26. The specific destinations of the eight excluded leavers are not established here. Read the full outcome record and privacy limits.
What Do County One Stop’s Results Tell Us?
The TPCH FY2026 scorecard reports 17 of 24 County One Stop rapid-rehousing leavers exiting to permanent housing (70.8%) for July 1, 2025–June 1, 2026, with no excluded leavers. A separate earlier group had 13 of 24 people return to homelessness within 12 months (54.2%); that cohort exited to permanent housing during June 1, 2024–June 1, 2025.
These are people in one project and two different cohorts, not a Countywide success rate or one group’s retention result. Matched reporting periods, inclusion rules and aggregate follow-up outcomes are needed before comparing costs or broader program performance.
Did people leave for permanent housing? Yes, 21 of 36 leavers included in the calculation, or 58.3%, did. The period is July 1, 2025–June 1, 2026. The scorecard starts with 44 leavers and excludes eight based on their destinations. It does not measure everyone served.
How were openings filled? All 26 recorded openings were filled through Coordinated Entry in the same period. That describes the referral route into those openings, not access for everyone waiting.
Did people return to homelessness? Seven of 43 people who exited to permanent housing in the earlier June 1, 2024–June 1, 2025 period returned within 12 months, or 16.3%. This is a different group and reporting period.
Housing First’s 50/100 and MDOT’s 10/40 are weighted scores, not housing-success percentages. Both programs were exempt from the grant-expenditure measure. Their scores do not establish underspending.
Unknown: The aggregate destination categories accounting for the eight excluded exits are not established. Later aggregate outcomes and costs for comparable groups and reporting periods also remain unverified.
Next: Obtain an agency-prepared aggregate breakdown by broad destination category and updated outcome totals, with inclusion rules, denominators and reporting periods. Combine or suppress small groups where individuals could be identified; do not request participant records.
