25th @ Bell

One physical development.
Several records to read together.

Research snapshot: November 8, 2026.
Each finding below keeps its own date, funding stage and limitations.

Funding record
Separate City and State HOME activities; funding fields are not verified cash payments.

A funding field or authorization is not verified cash spending. The older 20-year ARPA authorization term cannot be applied to the later changed set-aside statement without an executed amendment. Draft completion reporting does not establish current occupancy or vacancies.

Follow the dated records.

Dates and record types matter. These statements are not payments in a single account.

What the records establish

Phoenix’s draft FY2025–26 CAPER reports 25th @ Bell completed with 53 apartments.

Separate City and State HOME activities describe the same physical property; their assisted-unit designations must be matched before counting unique homes.

What still needs evidence

Executed assistance agreements and unit schedules are needed to establish designation overlap, applicable restrictions and the changed ARPA terms.

Project-specific disbursement records and current occupancy evidence remain unverified.

Planned homes, reported milestones and current housing availability are different measures. The complete findings and qualifications remain below.

01 / Identify the physical project

Count the apartments once.

A project and a funding activity are different records. The address is the connection; the grantee and activity IDs keep the funding observations separate.

Dataset-vintage note · HUD HOME activity records

Coverage descriptions disagree.

The official HUD item states coverage of September 2026 and points to the same HOME service used for these activity records. The service-layer description says coverage through December 2025, while the Data.gov description says June 2026. These metadata descriptions disagree. The exact data-refresh date has not been independently established. All retained records were retrieved November 8, 2026.

Record identifiersBELL-04 · PHX-XP-BELL

Unit overlap is still unverified.

The City six and State five HOME units may overlap. No unit schedule has been reviewed, and HOME and ARPA designations must not be added as distinct apartments.

City-reported project set-asides

The draft CAPER has its own set-aside statement.

The City draft CAPER reports 11 HOME-designated Bell units for households at or below 40% of area median income.

Period / event date2025-07-01 to 2026-06-30

03 / Follow the dated records

A sequence of records.
Not a spending total.

An authorization sets a ceiling. A later report can describe different terms. Keep both statements dated until an executed agreement or amendment explains the change.

2020April 1
Adopted authorization ceiling, ordinance S-46492

A HOME authorization, with the original proposed unit count.

On April 1, 2020, Council authorized up to $1 million in HOME assistance for the then-proposed 54-unit development, through CPLC and 25th & Bell LIHTC, LLC or an approved nominee.

Period / event date2020-04-01
Project scope25th @ Bell, 16801 N. 25th Street, Phoenix, Arizona; one physical development

2023June 14
Adopted authorization, ordinance S-49892

An ARPA authorization, with dated conditions.

Council authorized up to $896,564 in ARPA assistance on June 14, 2023. That action described 11 units at or below 65% AMI for at least 20 years.

Period / event date2023-06-14

2025Recovery report
Published performance-report statement

A later report, with a different set-aside statement.

Period / event date2025 recovery report
Project scope25th @ Bell, 16801 N. 25th Street, Phoenix, Arizona; one physical development
Limit of the record. Executed amendment not located. Do not carry the older 20-year authorization term onto the changed unit/AMI statement.
Record identifiersBELL-08 · PHX-XP-BELL

Do not combine these stages. The 2020 authorization, HUD funding fields and ARPA statements are different measures. They do not establish total development cost, City cash disbursements or a comparable cost per apartment.

04 / What remains unknown?

Keep the gaps
in plain sight.

These are limits of the reviewed evidence, not findings of misuse or noncompliance. The next step is to review executed agreements, amendments and unit schedules.

Which designated units overlap?

City and State HOME schedules have not been matched unit by unit. HOME and ARPA set-asides are also not established as separate apartments.

When do the restrictions end?

Executed affordability start dates, terms and expiry remain unknown. A dated authorization is not a verified end date.

Who currently owns the property?

Current deed ownership and the parcel/legal description have not been verified.

What explains the changed ARPA terms?

The 2023 authorization and 2025 report give different unit and income statements. An executed amendment has not been verified.

What was actually paid?

City cash disbursements, loan balances, total development cost and a complete financing stack are not established.

What is the current occupancy status?

The City draft CAPER is not a verified current occupancy record or an inspected certificate of occupancy.

05 / Original evidence

Check the record.

Nine dated findings, linked to their official sources. Each source note above identifies the document page, dataset record or spreadsheet row used.

The project key PHX-XP-BELL ties these findings to one development. Grantee, program and activity IDs remain separate.

This is a research snapshot through November 8, 2026. Documents can change; the distinctions and unresolved questions remain part of the finding.
