One of the many goals of this program is to be transparent about the process, requests for assistance, and reporting. We want to manage expectations and keep the public informed on funding distribution. On average, requests per week have diminished significantly and are now between 100-200 requests. This is down from 400-600 per week just three weeks ago. If you are interested in staying up to date on program numbers the Program Dashboard located on the homepage of TucsonPimaEP.com is currently updated 2-3 times per week.

The Tucson Pima Eviction Prevention Program has a collaborative approach to providing rental assistance. The program allows both Tenants and Landlord/Property Managers to begin the application process. It also requires participation from both the Tenant and Landlord. Below is a list of required documentation from Landlords/Property Managers:

As cases move through the process, this resource will automatically share the current status of the case. We hope that this resource helps to keep program participants informed.
