Overview
Mission
To provide low-income housing for individuals with disabilities
What it reported doing in 2024
Stephenson place served low-income clients in 26 households consisting of 35 persons. Our program operates under the housing first model so saaf does not exclude clients from entering housing due to criminal history, rental history, domestic violence, mental illness, substance use, or other factors that might prevent a person from obtaining housing. We continue to transition clients who have stabilized and are doing well in housing to independent unsubsidized housing or to mainstream programs like section 8 housing through the city of tucson. We have been able to achieve this through a partnership with the city of tucson public housing authority where we can refer clients directly to section 8 housing. Saaf continues to schedule regular air duct cleanings to maintain optimal air quality. We are in the process of replaing the roofs and complted buidling 1 this year and have scheduled buildings 2 and 3 for fy 25-26 to ensure clients that their homes are safe and secure. We continue to updated our security system to ensure the safety of our residents. Overall, these improvements aim to enhance the quality of life for our tenants and provide a comfortable and sustainable living environment. We are committed to continuously improving our property and ensuring the well-being of our residents.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
