What changed

• February 23, 2026 Housing authority brochure lists the project as Maxine Lewis Grove, 39 affordable units; no completion date stated. [4]
• January 16, 2025 Housing authority expected lease-up at the end of 2025. [2]

What the records leave open

• No certificate of occupancy, opening announcement or lease-up notice was found. The under-construction status rests on records from January 2025 and the 2024 city report; the building may have been completed since.
• Unit counts differ: 39 (contractor and housing authority) and 40 (city report, which likely includes a manager's unit). The 2024 annual report was not re-checked.
• This is not the separate 15-unit Orcutt Road Apartments project listed in the research file, and not the Vintage at SLO apartments in the Orcutt area.
