Dear Mayor Weiers: 
 
SUBJECT:  
CARES Act Award Transmittal  
 
 
City of Glendale, Arizona 
 
 
The San Francisco Field Office would like to thank the city of Glendale (City) for your continued 
diligence in responding to the coronavirus crisis.  The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security 
(CARES) Act provides funding to enable the City to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus 
through providing quality subsidized housing and expanding economic opportunities for low-and 
moderate-income persons through Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs.   
 
 
Your community has been awarded CARES Act funding as noted below.  You will need to 
execute a grant agreement amendment for any subsequent rounds of funding in addition to the original 
grant agreement for Round 1 program funds. 
 
One grant agreement or grant agreement amendment, as applicable, is attached for each program 
awarded as follows: 
 
 
Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG-CV) Round 3 
 
$2,044,841 
Emergency Solutions Grants Program (ESG-CV) Round 2 
 
 
$2,997,188 
 
 
Transmittal of a grant agreement or grant agreement amendment does not constitute approval of 
the activities described in your Consolidated Plan.  You are reminded that you, as the grantee, are 
responsible for ensuring that all grant funds are used in accordance with all program requirements.  An 
executed grant agreement is a legally binding agreement.

If there is a need to add or remove individuals authorized to access the Integrated Disbursement

The City is reminded that these grants are subject to the provisions of 24 CFR Part 58 
Environmental Review Procedures unless requirements are waived through the CARES Act.  Funds for 
covered activities may not be obligated or expended until HUD has approved the release of funds.  A 
request for release of funds (RROF) must be accompanied by an environmental certification, and until the 
RROF is approved and notification is received, no HUD funds should be committed.  If the project or 
activity is exempt per 24 CFR 58.34 or categorically excluded (except in extraordinary circumstances), no 
RROF is required. Updated procedures are available at https://www.hudexchange.info/news/office-of-
environment-and-energy-guidance-in-response-to-covid-19/. 
 
Thank you for the City’s efforts in supporting community needs in order to prevent, prepare for 
and respond to coronavirus, and HUD is available to assist the City in accomplishing its program goals.  
If the City has any questions or need further information or assistance, please contact Stephanie Knox, 
Community Planning and Development Representative at 602-379-7178, or
