San Diego homelessness accountability: reports and evidence (2026)

The published reports, claim ledgers, registers and cited source originals from the 2026 investigation into the City of San Diego's homelessness spending, encampment abatement, shelter capacity, police overtime and contract performance. The investigation was carried out with OnRecord Studio; this dataset mirrors its final deliverables so that every claim can be checked against the records it cites.

Report edition 1.2 is deposited at Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23405739). This dataset carries edition 1.3 (evidence cutoff 2026-10-18) and the two evidence updates of 2026-10-12 and 2026-10-16.

Personal information

The audit population is institutional: officials acting in their roles, vendors, contract amounts, agreement numbers, facilities and departments. Released logs were transcribed without personal names, item descriptions or contact details. No private information is republished even where an agency release failed to redact it; such records are cited by URL only.
