The cocompact hyperbolic-lattice proper-action conjecture

For a homogeneous space G/HG/H of reductive type, write (P-cocHn^n) if there exists a discrete subgroup of GG isomorphic to a cocompact lattice of O(n,1)\operatorname{O}(n,1) acting properly on G/HG/H, and write (P-ss) if some non-compact semisimple subgroup of GG acts properly on G/HG/H. Cocompact hyperbolic-lattice conjecture. For every n2n\geqslant 2, there exists a homogeneous space G/HG/H of reductive type that is (P-cocHn^n) but not (P-ss). This is presented as a stronger open question than the corresponding statement for surface groups.
