The first first-room keys notice began with the key register and the waiting list for family rooms. Since then, the city has moved through a source check, a public hearing and a trial at the South Welcome House above the lower market stairs.
The current docket records 29 families assigned a room before their temporary bed expires; the earlier file recorded 29. The count is more specific than the first summary, but still does not answer how the city assigns a first room when family size and district capacity do not line up.
A key point in the timeline was the discovery of a row of numbered keys hanging beside the house’s shared water board. It narrowed the dispute from a general claim about the rule to a question about how the rule behaves at the site.
The current list favors earlier arrival; advocates say it can split a household whose members reached the gate on different caravans. The current record does not settle that disagreement. The parties now share more of the record than they did at the start, though they assign it different weight.
A field check has compared the written rule with the place where it is used. The entry belongs to the late-season check file at the South Welcome House above the lower market stairs. The housing table will publish the wait by household size, not only by place in line. The next review will show whether the change lasts beyond this docket or returns as another temporary exception.
