Annual Action Plans Substantial Amendment #2 
 
Public Comment Period: April 2, 2021 through May 2, 2021 
 
INTRODUCTION  
 
The City of Glendale’s HUD Annual Action Plans (AAP) detail the community’s funding strategy to expend 
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and HOME 
Investment Partnerships Program each year.  The Plans implement the goals of the City’s Five-Year 
Consolidated Plan by funding allocations to specific activities that advance these goals, and are 
developed through significant public input, analysis, and planning.  
 
Title 24 Section 91.505 of the Code of Federal Regulations stipulates that communities shall amend their 
approved plans whenever they make one or more of the following decisions:  
 
1. To make a change in its allocation priorities or a change in the method of distribution of funds;  
2. To carry out an activity, using funds from any program covered by the Consolidated Plan 
(including program income) not previously described in the action plan; or 
 
3. To change the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity. 
 
 
The regulation further requires that jurisdictions identify in their Citizen Participation Plans the criteria 
they will use for determining what constitutes a substantial amendment. As a member of the Maricopa 
HOME Consortium the City follows the Consortium’s FY 2015-19 Citizen Participation Plan. Consistent 
with these requirements, the City identified three criteria that will require a substantial amendment:  
 
1. Changes in the use of CDBG/ESG funds from one eligible activity to another; or 
2. An activity is undertaken that was not previously included in the Consolidated Plan or 

subsequent Annual Action Plans; or 
3. More than twenty percent of an activity budget is proposed to be reallocated to another eligible 
program activity. 
 
 
The proposed substantial amendment triggers all three of these criteria, including: 1. changing the use 
of CDBG funds from one eligible activity to another; 2. creation of a new activity not previously included 
in existing Annual Action Plans; and 3. reallocation of 20% or more in CDBG funds from one activity to 
another eligible activity.  
 
CONTENT OF THE SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT  
 
With this Substantial Amendment, the City proposes to reallocate $701,766.49 in Community 
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from various activities to a new activity that will allow the City 
to complete a variety of public improvements.  Reallocation of these funds is necessary to realign final 
activity expenditures with existing Annual Action Plan allocations and repurpose unexpended funding 
from completed or cancelled activities.  The following tables outline the changes to the PYs 2015-16, and 
2017-18 through 2019-20 Annual Action Plans by funding year, original recipient, activity name, original 
allocation and proposed final reallocation.
