The City of Tucson and Pima County are seeking community input to discuss priority uses of $12,770,187 in HUD HOME Investment Partnerships Program – American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funds. HOME-ARP funds are restricted to supporting housing, shelter and services for individuals and families who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, fleeing or attempting to flee domestic abuse, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking, or are extremely low-income and severely housing cost-burdened.
The City of Tucson Housing Housing and Community Development Department and Pima County Community and Workforce Development Department will host two community input forums for TPCH members and other community stakeholders.
Homeless and domestic abuse service providers, veterans’ groups, other public agencies that address the needs of housing insecure individuals and families, and organizations that address fair housing, civil rights, and the needs of persons with disabilities are encouraged to attend one of the sessions. Pre-registration is required and the sessions will be recorded.
Each session is limited to 60 attendees. To allow for maximum community participation, community members may only attend one session.Â

Operation Deep Freeze (ODF) is Tucson's winter severe-weather emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness. ODF goes into effect when weather predictions are for overnight temperatures of 40°F or lower with rain, 35°F or lower without rain, or when wind chill factors indicate a health hazard from exposure. You do not need an ID or a TB card to participate in ODF.
