Housing Affordable Strategy (HAST) and Housing First in Tucson

A bird's eye view of the Milagro on Oracle site

Glimpse into the future of the Milagro on Oracle site! Once complete, Milagro on Oracle will house Tucsonans 55+ and individuals experiencing homelessness.

The project is part of the City’s 10-point Housing Affordable Strategy for Tucson (HAST), which calls for creation of more affordable housing. Additionally, this project is the City of Tucson's first Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) project in 10 years and first LIHTC project developed under El Pueblo Housing Development, a newly formed non-profit.
