Research gaps, with a path to better evidence.

These are 10 published questions and three Capital Fund evidence needs. This is not a log of submitted or received records requests. The answers remain unverified; missing evidence alone is not a finding of misuse. Each related record retains its own project and program scope.

What is the current occupancy status?

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

Read the published question or evidence needDirect link

Evidence needed

A dated occupancy record or inspected certificate-of-occupancy evidence appropriate to the question.

Relevant published records

What it would clarify

What completion and current occupancy can be verified beyond the draft CAPER statement. This would not establish current vacancy availability.
