In a decisive move to enhance public housing in Tucson, the City Council approved two significant resolutions during their meeting on December 10, 2024. The first, Resolution PHA 2024-32, amends the City of Tucson's annual plan for fiscal year 2025, allowing for the submission of updated plans to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This resolution passed unanimously with a 6-0 vote, highlighting the council's commitment to addressing housing needs in the community.

Following this, the council adopted Resolution PHA 2024-33, which updates the administrative plan and the Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy (ACOP) for public housing. This resolution also received unanimous support, reinforcing the city's dedication to improving housing policies and ensuring better management of public housing resources.

Both resolutions were declared emergencies, indicating the urgency of the changes needed to support Tucson's housing initiatives. The council's swift actions reflect a proactive approach to public housing challenges, aiming to streamline processes and enhance service delivery for residents in need.

In addition to these resolutions, the council approved the monthly board report and the minutes from the previous meeting, maintaining transparency and accountability in their operations. The meeting concluded with a clear focus on advancing Tucson's public housing agenda, setting the stage for future developments in the city's housing strategy.
