EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
 
ES-05 Executive Summary – 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 
 
1. Introduction 
 
As a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) 
funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City of Glendale must 
submit an Annual Action Plan (AAP) under Federal Regulations at 24 CFR Part 91. The purpose of the 
Annual Action Plan is to review and update the assessments presented in the City of Glendale’s adopted 
Five-Year Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 2020-2024. In addition, the AAP identifies the City’s 
housing and community development needs; analyzes the housing market; establishes housing and 
community development priorities, identifies the resources available from CDBG and ESG entitlement 
grants, as well as the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) allocations provided through the 
Maricopa HOME Consortium, and assigns funding to specific activities that further the Consolidated 
Plan. 
 
This AAP implements the third year of activities that will address goals established by the City of 
Glendale’s FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.  The City will receive and program the following funding in 
FY 2022-23:  CDBG – $2,459,350; ESG -- $211,275; and HOME – $686,496.  Note: as of publication of 
this document on March 18, 2022 the City has not received final allocations from HUD.  Once the City 
receives these final allocations, these figures will be updated prior to approval of the final Annual 
Action Plan approved by the City Council and submission of the approved Plan to HUD.  The City will 
increase or decrease all activity allocations on a prorated basis based on the final HUD allocations. 
Activities funded with these allocations are discussed in the following sections. 
 
2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview 
 
Identified below are the goals that the City of Glendale has identified as the basis for its 
strategies and related activities to be carried out under the 2020-24 Consolidated Plan and related 
Annual Action Plans. Actual activities may vary each plan year and will be based on priorities established 
during the citizen participation planning process and the amount of the City’s annual allocation. All 
activities funded in this AAP further the following adopted FY 2020-24 Consolidated Plan goals. 
 
Goal 1 
Promote Access to Decent Affordable Housing 
Glendale will work to promote access to affordable quality housing throughout the City through a 
variety of activities that may include construction, rehabilitation and replacement of owner and 
renter housing, homeownership assistance, or rental assistance that helps low- and moderate- 
income families obtain and/or maintain decent, safe, and affordable housing. 
Goal 2 
Increase Access to Homeless Services/Housing 
Through its ongoing Strategic Planning process and work with the Maricopa Regional Continuum of 
Care, the City will identify ways to partner with government, nonprofit and private sector 
organizations to offer additional emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent and 
supportive housing, and necessary supportive services to mitigate crisis situations and promote 
self-sufficiency to homeless people and those at risk of homelessness.

Page 4 of 36 
 
Goal 3 
Increase Access to Public Services for Vulnerable Populations 
Through our funding of nonprofit agencies, the City will provide additional services to support low- 
and moderate-income people, particularly food assistance and senior and youth services. Other 
vulnerable groups may include those with disabilities, victims of domestic abuse, children in or 
aged out of foster care, those suffering from addiction or mental health diseases and others. 
Goal 4 
Provide Educational Programs and Business Assistance 
Through our funding of programs with government and nonprofit providers or collaborative 
partnerships, the City will provide additional services to support low-and-moderate income youth 
and adults with educational programs. Programs can include those that supplement youth learning 
and skills development, job training and skills development for adults, specific employment 
training, financial self-sufficiency training, and direct financial assistance to businesses. 
Goal 5 
Enhance Livability of Neighborhoods 
Several areas within the City have significant aging infrastructure needs, particularly related to 
ADA compliance and water systems. Neighborhood enhancements, such as parks, streetscape 
beautification, demolition of unsafe and blighted structures, and exterior commercial 
rehabilitation would also be considered under this category. The City will pursue these strategies 
to enhance livability of neighborhoods in eligible areas or on a spot basis. 
Goal 6 
Affirmatively Further Fair Housing Regulations 
Per 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601-19, the Fair Housing Act, all Federal programs relating to housing and urban 
development be administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. 
Table 1. 2020-24 Consolidated Plan Goals 
 
3. Evaluation of past performance 
 
As a recipient of CDBG and ESG funds, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Annual Performance 
and Evaluation Report (CAPER) within 90 days of the end each program year (by September 30th). The 
CAPER summarizes the City’s prior year accomplishments and the progress made towards the goals 
established in the current Consolidated Plan. The City also reports its HOME accomplishments and 
expenditures to Maricopa County as a member of the Maricopa HOME Consortium.  
 
Table 2 shows the total Community Planning and Development (CPD) funding by made available and 
expended by grant source during FY 2020-21 (through June 30, 2021): 
Prior to the additional of funding 
provided through the CARES Act, 
the City typically received about 
$3.5 million in funding between 
regular allocations and program 
income received under the CDBG, 
HOME and ESG programs.  With 
the addition of CARES Act funding, 
the City received more than double 
its normal allocation (an additional 
$7,248,826). 
 
Combined 
with 
carryover 
funds 
and 
program 
income from prior years, at the 
beginning of FY 2020-21 the City 
had $16,427,780 of CPD funding

7. Summary 
 
The State of Arizona and the City of Glendale continue to experience significant population growth in 
population and economic growth.  With significant growth comes challenges for affordable housing, 
especially with the robust growth of both the single-family and multi-family residential markets. Because 
of this continued growth, current upward price trends in the housing market ensure that affordable 
housing will remain an issue for the foreseeable future.  Rapid price increases in both the homeowner 
and rental markets exacerbate these trends as declining supply of housing meets increasing demand.  
The primary impacts associated with these trends include 1. a substantial rise in homelessness, and 2. 
diminished affordability that consumes an increasing share of household income for those who can stay 
housed. 
 
To mitigate these impacts, the City of Glendale is working to provide more affordable housing through 
HOME funding of Habitat for Humanity, Tenant Based Rental Assistance, First-time Homebuyer 
Assistance, and through rehabilitation assistance to support low- and moderate-income citizens, with 
particular consideration given to keeping seniors and people with disabilities in their homes. 
Mortgage/rental/utility assistance is also a priority for helping citizens maintain their housing and 
prevent homelessness. 
 
The City will also identify neighborhood enhancements such as infrastructure improvements within low- 
mod income areas, such as water system and ADA improvements to parks serving low- and moderate- 
income households. Streetscape beautification, demolition of unsafe structures and commercial 
rehabilitation are among other possible activities to enhance neighborhoods. The City will consider 
other infrastructure and public facility improvements, such as libraries, youth centers, and recreation 
centers as possible neighborhood enhancements, though these amenities are not as high a priority. 
 
Glendale will fund public services for low- and moderate-income families through the funding of several 
governmental and nonprofit agencies whose efforts and expertise are critical to maximizing the impact

Page 8 of 36 
 
of CDBG and ESG funds. Additionally, CARES Act funding will be utilized to meet the needs of citizens 
most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 
 
Glendale has succeeded as a community by working in partnership with other agencies throughout the 
West Valley and in Maricopa County by building on each organization’s respective strengths. By tapping 
into the human assets of its community, Glendale can work to ensure that all citizens have an 
opportunity to be independent, productive members of the community who live stable and productive 
lives.

1. Introduction 
 
Partnerships are the key mechanism by which the City develops and advances community development 
goals, creates strategic initiatives and allocates funding and other resources.   The Community Services 
Department, working collaboratively among its five divisions, currently maintains partnerships with 227 
external organizations.  These agencies provide a variety of services that benefit the City’s low-and-
moderate income residents, including, but not limited to: elimination of homelessness through shelter, 
eviction prevention, utility assistance, rapid rehousing, and housing voucher assistance; education; 
workforce development; self-sufficiency and financial literacy programs; home repair assistance; 
development of new affordable rental units; assistance to small businesses; public services that benefit 
vulnerable populations such as seniors, the disabled, youth and victims of domestic violence; and

Page 9 of 36 
 
others.  The Department also works collaboratively with other City Departments, funders, elected and 
appointed officials, business owners and representatives and other groups with an interest in increasing 
housing affordability and household self-sufficiency.  
 
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and 
assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies 
(91.215(l)). 
 
The City provides funding for several human service providers to provide services to the residents of 
Glendale. These agencies include Back to School Clothing Drive, Community Legal Services and Arizona 
YWCA of Metro Phoenix. The City’s Community Housing Division is responsible for addressing the rental 
housing needs of low and very low-income Glendale households that cannot afford housing in the 
private market through the administration of the federally funded Housing Choice Voucher program. 
The City provides CDBG public services funding to support seniors, disabled, youth and adults, 
education, homeless prevention, food banks and other social services. The City consulted with its 
housing authority, which is a City Divisional Unit, by including staff representatives in the public 
meetings and conducting interviews with housing authority management. 
 
In addition, the City consulted with staff from related City departments, specifically the City’s 
Community Action Program (CAP) that assists low-to-moderate income residents experiencing financial 
hardships or crisis. CAP provides various types of assistance to prevent homelessness, such as case 
management, information and referral to local social service agencies. CAP provides direct financial 
assistance for eligible households. 
 
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless 
persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, 
and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. 
 
The City of Glendale is a participant in the Maricopa Regional Continuum of Care (CoC) and is a member 
of the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), two regional agencies that address homelessness 
in Maricopa County. The City provides support to the COC and several non- profit partners that provide 
services to alleviate homelessness, including, but not limited to shelter assistance, transportation, street 
outreach and housing navigation, rental subsidies, employment, food and others. 
 
The City participates with MAG’s Continuum of Care Regional Committee on Homelessness, which is 
responsible for developing the Regional Plan to End Homeless and prepares the COC application for 
funding to support homeless assistance programs. 
 
The City of Glendale participates with MAG’s regional Point-In-Time Homeless Street and Shelter Count 
and provides data to HUD for the Housing Inventory Count Report. The City utilizes this data to develop 
strategies to address homelessness. 
 
The City also participates in the ESG Funders Group. This ESG collaboration group is a team of ESG 
grantees that meet once a month to coordinate best practices and consistent procedures related to the 
ESG program performance standards and efforts to end homelessness. 
 
The City also has the Homeless Executive Taskforce. This is an internal initiative between City 
Departments. Together they discuss the issues facing homelessness and collaborate on solutions to end

Page 10 of 36 
 
homelessness. 
 
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining 
how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and 
activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and 
administration of HMIS 
 
The City receives ESG funds and consults with Continuum of Care (CoC) as part of the process to 
prioritize the needs to address homelessness, the allocation of ESG funding, and performance standards. 
To ensure the participation of the homeless population in the planning process, the City of Glendale 
engages in regional activities and dialogue with the State of Arizona and the CoC Committee on 
Homelessness. An example of a successful regional collaborative effort is the region’s Annual Homeless 
Count. The City’s collaboration is intended to use the most current and accurate information available to 
design and implement necessary housing and social service assistance to bring homeless persons back 
into our workforce, schools, faith-based institutions, and other community institutions as well as 
facilitate them becoming stable. The City consulted with the CoC to discuss the best method to allocate 
funding to non-profit agencies. As the program progresses, performance standards will be developed 
based on the needs of the community and regulatory guidance. All outcomes will be reviewed and 
measured for effectiveness, as required.

Introduction 
Each year the City of Glendale receives direct CDBG and ESG entitlements from HUD.  As a result of the 
COVID-19 pandemic, the City also received CDBG-CV and ESG-CV funding in FY 2020-21 that will 
continue to be expended in FY 2022-23 towards the activities established in the FY 2020-2024 
Consolidated Plan and FY 2020-21 AAP.  In addition, the City also receives HOME funds from Maricopa 
County as a member of the Maricopa HOME Consortium. The city of Glendale has been allocated 
approximately $686,496 of HOME funds through the Maricopa HOME Consortium for FY 2022-23. 
 
To estimate the total amount of funding available for the five-year Consolidated Plan period, the City 
combined actual allocations from the first three funding years with an estimate of the remaining two 
years.  This estimate is equal to the current year funding award.

Table 7 - Expected Resources – Priority Table 
 
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), 
including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied. 
 
Part of Glendale’s strategy includes providing funding to local nonprofits who in turn leverage outside 
funding sources to serve Glendale’s citizens. Additionally, the City and its subrecipients provide 
matching HOME and ESG funding, including $451,042 in FY2020-21. Leverage, in the context of the 
CDBG and HOME, means bringing other local, state, and federal financial resources to maximize the 
reach and impact of the City’s HUD programs. HUD, like many other federal agencies, encourages the 
recipients of federal monies to demonstrate that efforts are being made to strategically leverage 
additional funds to achieve greater results. 
 
Leverage is also a way to increase project efficiencies and benefit from economies of scale that often 
come with combining sources of funding for similar or expanded scopes. Funds will be leveraged if 
financial commitments toward the costs of a project from a source other than the originating HUD 
program are documented. 
 
During FY 2022-23, the City of Glendale will allocate HOME funds from the Maricopa HOME Consortium

Table 8.  FY 2022-23 Proposed Outcomes by Consolidated Plan Goal 
 
The City does not have access to surplus land for the purposes of building affordable housing. Any 
acquisition would happen through the actions of a non-profit organization. 
 
The City is devoted to addressing the affordable housing crisis. In partnership with the Caesar Chávez 
Foundation, 80 affordable housing units will be made available to Glendale residents. The project is 
scheduled to be completed and ready for occupancy by the end of 2023. 
 
Glendale will utilize the $2,423,635 in CDBG funding and approximately $75,000 in CDBG Program 
Income toward projects in FY 2022-23. Additionally, the City will utilize $211,275 in ESG funding for 
projects in FY 2022-23. 
 
In FY 2020- 21, the City received $1,457,342 of CDBG-CV funding, $749,455 in ESG-CV and $2,997,188 of 
ESG-CV 2 funding. The infusion of COVID-19 related funding was previously awarded to subrecipient and 
will continue to be expended in FY 2022-23 on programs that are designed to eliminate the burdens 
caused by the world-wide pandemic.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs 
Allocation Priorities 
 
CDBG: Allocation priorities for the use of CDBG funds were based on the City's housing and community 
development needs assessment contained within the Consolidated Plan, deliberations of the CDAC and 
City Council, as well as funding applications received through the City's competitive grant application 
cycle. The competitive application process relies on specific criteria to ensure that funds are allocated to 
the agencies that will use them in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. Organizations providing 
housing and community development services to address underserved needs were also consulted 
regarding their current activity levels and the needs of their clients. The efficient use of prior year 
resources, results of on-site and remote monitoring and evaluation of prior year accomplishments 
helped to determine ongoing needs and organizational capacity to continue providing services to clients.  
 
ESG: The City will continue to support an existing subrecipient, Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS), 
through the Master Services Agreement (MSA) with all ESG funds for the foreseeable future.  The MSA is 
the City’s comprehensive homelessness response designed to provide all services necessary to mitigate 
homelessness in the City under a single service umbrella.  The intent of the MSA is to streamline access 
and delivery of all services that a member of the homeless community may need to regain housing and 
achieve long-term financial self-sufficiency.  The resulting Glendale Homeless Solutions Alliance (GHSA) 
connects 17 separate service providers with direct access to each other’s services depending on the 
individual needs of each client.  It is the City’s desire to continue to support this relationship with 
ongoing ESG funding, as well as other funding opportunities that may become available in the future. 
 
Obstacles to Addressing Underserved Needs

Page 23 of 36 
 
The City of Glendale is making efforts to address and identify activities of highest priority. The housing 
market conditions related to demand and supply of both rental and homeownership, as well as the 
availability of affordable housing, also determine the use of housing-related funding such as HOME 
Consortium allocations. The amount of available funding simply is not adequate to meet the demand 
based on applications received by the City. The fact that many low and moderate-income households 
are cost burdened or severely cost burdened (spending more than 30% or 50% respectively of their 
income on housing expense) also remains an obstacle to addressing the underserved. The City is 
challenged to develop and implement a well-coordinated and integrated outcome-driven service 
delivery system that meets the City's housing and community development needs and goals.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.420, 91.220(i) 
 
Introduction 
 
SHORTEN The City of Glendale is deeply committed to supporting homeless individuals and families in 
the community. Working through its ongoing Strategic Action Planning and coordinated efforts across 
the City, the City seeks to maximize the effectiveness of its expenditures on housing and support for 
homeless citizens. 
 
The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) administers the Continuum of Care process for 
Maricopa County and surrounding urban area. The City of Glendale participates with the Continuum of 
Care Board and Continuum of Care Regional Committee on Homelessness. The City is highly active in 
local and regional planning efforts and activities to reduce and end homelessness. Outcomes are 
achieved through collaboration and partnerships with internal and external partners from diverse fields 
and organizations. Internally, City departments including Community Housing, Community Action 
Program, Community Revitalization, Community Services Department, Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, 
Libraries, Courts, and others work together to coordinate services and leverage resources. 
 
Similarly, the City is an active participant in the regional Continuum of Care facilitated by the Maricopa 
Association of Governments. Glendale works with a multitude of external organizations including state 
and county government; private and non-profit organizations; and the faith community to achieve

Page 27 of 36 
 
collective impact. Services and support to end homelessness are provided directly through City staff and 
through contracts and agreements with subrecipient organizations. In January 2019, the Glendale City 
Council adopted a Homeless Strategy Plan identifying five key elements that will align existing resources 
with new opportunities to reduce homelessness. The five-step process is a focused strategy which is 
progressive and holistic: research, education, coordination, outreach, and performance management. 
The Homeless Strategic Action Plan is a framework which allows growth and evolution as the City and 
data analysis deems necessary and prudent and strengthens the approach that will continue to address 
and assist the homeless population in our community. 
 
For FY 2022-23, the City of Glendale will utilize CDBG public service funds, ESG funds and CDBG- CV and 
ESG- CV fund to address the housing and supportive service needs of homeless individuals and families 
as well as supportive services for non-homeless members of special needs groups. The City made 
available $363,545 (15%) of its CDBG allocation for public service activities. The available funds were 
allocated across the following categories: homeless activities; meals and nutrition activities; domestic 
violence activities; senior activities; youth activities; general assistance; and activities for persons with 
disabilities. The City will receive an ESG allocation of $211,275. The City will use the ESG funds to 
support homeless prevention activities in the comprehensive homeless prevention program under a 
Master Services Agreement currently in procurement. 
 
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including 
reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual 
needs. 
 
The City of Glendale will use CDBG and ESG funding to assist homeless individuals and families. The 
agencies receiving funding will assess the needs of the persons they plan to serve. The City will also 
continue educational outreach through police, fire, park rangers, faith-based organizations, and schools. 
In FY 2018-19, the City funded a pilot program for homeless workforce development called Glendale 
Works. The program has been enormously successful connecting to the homeless through the 
opportunity for gainful employment and connecting participants to services. This program will continue 
in FY 2022-23 with a combination of funding from ESG-CV1 and leveraged funds through the partner 
private donation. 
 
As of publication of this Draft Plan, the City is in currently in procurement for one or more agencies to 
design and implement a Master Services Agreement that will provide a menu of ESG-eligible services to 
those experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the City. This approach will require that qualified 
subrecipients develop a flexible service delivery system where clients receive individualized assessments 
and case management, and can access services depending on their individual needs. The City will expect 
that the successful organization will provide a system that uses all ESG-eligible activities in any 
combination that they feel is necessary to achieve the City’s goal to reduce homelessness in the City. 
 
To determine the beneficiary eligibility for ESG assistance and the level and type of assistance needed to 
move the individual or family to stable permanent housing, ESG subrecipients must conduct an initial 
evaluation per 24 CFR 576.401. Evaluations must be conducted according to the centralized or 
coordinated assessment requirements under regulations at §576.400(d) and written standards at 
§576.400(e). Eligibility and type of assistance will be determined during the intake application for 
households receiving homeless prevention and rapid re-housing assistance. Income eligibility will be 
determined using HUD standards for calculating annual income, specifically meeting the requirement 
that household income not exceed 30% of the area median income updated annually.

Page 28 of 36 
 
 
Finally, $266,480 of the City’s CDBG allocation will support Phoenix Rescue Mission’s Hope for Hunger 
Program, which provides free meals to thousands of Glendale residents each year, as well as case 
management and employment services. 
 
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons 
 
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with 
children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent 
housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families 
experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable 
housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming 
homeless again 
 
the City funds support and financial assistance services – including rental, mortgage, and utility 
assistance – through local nonprofits and the City’s Community Action Program to prevent families from 
becoming homeless again. The City will allocate significant resources to these programs, including 
multiple years of HOME funds, to create and sustain a Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program (TBRA). 
This program will provide eligible renters, including those experiencing homelessness, with medium-
term rental and utility assistance for up to two years. Those experiencing or at imminent risk of 
homelessness will be prioritized for assistance. 
 
All the agencies the City provides funding to advocate for intensive aftercare in order to ease transition 
for people exiting emergency and transitional shelters. The agencies the City partners with take action 
to ensure that persons moving to permanent housing achieve housing stability. The City supports the 
need to transition homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and independent living as 
soon as reasonable by continuing to make homeless vouchers available. 
 
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-
income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions 
and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth 
facilities, and corrections programs and institutions) or, receiving assistance from public or private 
agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. 
 
The City has funds agencies that provide emergency services and connections to community agencies to 
support the needs of the homeless community, including financial, food, clothing, etc. Other 
partnerships include the Glendale Strong Family Network (GSFN), made up of local human service 
organizations and chaired by a representative from the Glendale Elementary School District (GESD). This 
representative has a permanent appointment to the City’s Community Development Advisory 
Committee (CDAC) that advises the City Council on human service matters in the City. Finally, the needs 
of children aging or have aged out of foster care have become especially visible through conversations 
with GESD and GFSN. For this reason, the City is working with these groups to identify and address the 
needs of this population and has allocated CDBG funds to the City’s Housing Division to distribute 25 
housing vouchers to youth aging out of the foster care system. 
 
During the program year, the City will provide CDBG and ESG funding for homeless prevention activities 
that include emergency rental/utility assistance payments and rapid re-housing services. The City’s goal 
is to improve the lives and social skills of participants, increase awareness of community resources, and

Page 29 of 36 
 
assist participants to obtain employment and maintain permanent housing. The City will also maintain 
long-term rental assistance through Housing Choice Vouchers and 155 public housing units. 
 
Discussion 
 
Overall, the City’s utilized CDBG , ESG and CV funding to address homelessness in the City through 
multiple means that include: 1. foreclosure and eviction prevention; 2. tenant-based rental assistance; 3. 
utility assistance; food and case management assistance; 4. employment programs; 5. shelter support; 
6. supportive services; 7. homeless and housing navigation; 8. street outreach; 9. pet boarding, storage 
and Healthy Giving; 10. self-sufficiency programming; and 11. Long-term housing solutions based on the 
Housing First model. 
 
In addition to HUD resources, the City of Glendale Community Action Program (CAP) receives funding 
from a number of federal, state and local sources to assist the elderly, disabled and other low- and 
moderate- income residents with a number of services designed to help keep families stable in their 
homes. 
 
AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) 
 
Introduction 
 
According to the 2020-25 Maricopa County Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice and 
the FY 2016 Strategic Housing Plan, the most common identified barrier to affordable housing is the cost 
burden and severe cost burden faced by both renters and owners. Some costs include the cost of land, 
cost of construction and infrastructure, permit fees, impact fees, developer interest, taxes, zoning, lack 
of rental supply, an increase in rents by 30% this last year, and insufficient financial resources. 
Unfortunately, the housing cost burden continues to rise into FY 2022-23 as well as the shortage of 
available affordable housing for low to moderate income household in Arizona and Glendale. 
 
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as 
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, 
building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential 
investment. 
 
Discussion 
 
During FY 2022-23, the City of Glendale will continue to preserve affordable housing and increase the 
affordable housing stock for households with income at 0-80% AMI by implementing or funding the 
following activities: 
 
• 
Utilize CDBG funding for the rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing units; 
• 
Utilize HOME funds to assist first-time home buyers with down payment assistance; 
• 
Address accessibility barriers for elderly and persons with disabilities; 
• 
Continue to provide rental assistance to 1,095 households through the Housing Choice Voucher 
program; 
• 
Provide Housing Vouchers to eligible youth aging out of the foster care system; 
• 
Provide financial assistance to households facing eviction with emergency rental assistance; 
• 
Partner and support affordable housing developers to bring more affordable housing projects to

Page 30 of 36 
 
Glendale; 
• 
Partner with Community Legal Services to provide training and fair housing services to residents 
to help ensure fair housing in Glendale. 
 
AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k) 
 
Introduction 
 
In order to ensure that the City of Glendale’s goals and objectives are met, City staff will employ 
strategies that ensure underserved needs are met, affordable housing is developed and maintained, 
lead based paint hazards are reduced, poverty levels are reduced, and the coordination of housing and 
community development activities is conducted. The City will leverage funding from private and other 
non-federal public resources, identify and secure new funding sources, address homeless needs with 
local and regional coordination efforts, and address aging infrastructure and public improvements in low 
and moderate- income neighborhoods to meet underserved needs. Affordable and safe housing will be 
addressed through providing funding for homeownership, accessibility, emergency financial assistance, 
public housing, and lead-based paint hazards. The number of families at the poverty level will be 
reduced by addressing homeless prevention and rapid re-housing for self-sufficiency.  The Community 
Services staff will coordinate local and regional housing and community development efforts in 
Glendale. City staff will use the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) to assist in 
prioritizing needs and allocating federal resources and will work with the Maricopa County Continuum 
of Care to meet needs of homeless persons. 
 
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs 
 
In addition to the CDBG and ESG activities described in previous sections, the City will continue its 
strategy of leveraging its HOME resources, along with those of nonprofit agencies, to maximize the 
impact of funding dollars in meeting housing needs of residents. The City has also expanded its efforts to 
participate in regional coalitions, such as MAG and various subcommittees of the CoC, to coordinate its 
efforts to support homeless families and those facing significant housing problems or cost burdens. 
Glendale participates with the West Valley Human Resources Collaborative, which works to resolve 
issues of homelessness from a regional level. Glendale also continues to seek out additional funding 
from local, state, or Federal sources to supplement their efforts. 
 
The City of Glendale, like most communities, is faced with a shortage of resources to effectively address 
underserved needs. During FY 2022-23, the City plans to undertake the following actions to address 
obstacles to meeting underserved needs: 
 
• 
Funding projects and activities that leverage funding from other public and private resources to 
increase the impact of projects and benefit more low- and moderate-income residents; 
• 
Provide support for agencies that serve low- and moderate-income residents, homeless 
individuals and families, and persons at risk of homelessness using CDBG and ESG funding; 
• 
Benefit low- and moderate-income neighborhoods by addressing aging infrastructure, other 
public improvement, and public facility needs; 
• 
Continue to participate in regional and county-wide efforts such as MAG, the CoC, the outreach 
group and the ESG Collaboration Work Group to ensure resources are used in a coordinated 
effort and address the highest priority needs of homeless persons and families apply for new 
funding opportunities from federal, state or local sources, and support funding applications for

Page 31 of 36 
 
other organizations in the City or region. 
 
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing. 
 
The funded Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program to helps families to maintain their housing 
situations; the TBRA would act as a bridge to Housing Choice Vouchers or permanent housing after two 
years. The City will also work with its Community Action Program (CAP) to provide Eviction Prevention 
assistance through rent, mortgage, and utilities assistance to eligible households. Glendale also partners 
with Habitat for Humanity to preserve and increase the City’s supply of affordable owner housing. To 
that end, that partnership will develop new owner housing, and/or rehabilitate or replace existing 
owner housing. Additionally, the City’s Public Housing Authority will begin investigating the feasibility of 
expanding units at one of its locations, providing additional Section 8 vouchers, and making three more 
units 504 accessible using existing CDBG funds. 
 
During FY 2022-23, the City of Glendale will preserve affordable housing and increase the affordable 
housing stock for households with income between 0-80% AMI by implementing or funding the 
following activities: 
 
• 
Utilize HOME funding for the rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing units and to support 
Habitat for Humanity in developing new affordable housing units; 
• 
Address accessibility barriers for elderly and persons with disabilities; 
• 
Implement and coordinate public housing in the City by providing Housing Choice Voucher 
Program vouchers to eligible households; 
• 
Provide financial assistance to households facing eviction with emergency rental assistance. 
 
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards 
 
The City will address lead-based paint (LBP) hazards within the implementation of its home repair 
programs. HUD regulations, at 24 CFR Part 35, require that lead-based paint be controlled before the 
rehabilitation of housing units, particularly if children under the age of six occupy the units. During the 
scoping period for each home repair project, the City reviews the scale of the project to determine the 
level of assessment and mitigation or abatement work required to address lead-based paint hazards at 
that project.  For those projects that do not qualify for an exemption, the City conducts a Lead Risk 
Assessment (LRA) and includes the result in the project scope of work prior to bidding.   Based on the 
results of the LRA, the City requires that contractors use interim controls or abatement practices to 
address identified hazards. All construction regardless of level hazard includes the use of Safe Work 
Practices to prevent contamination.  A follow up clearance test must indicate that all lead-based paint 
hazards have been mitigated or abated prior to project closeout. 
 
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 
 
The City’s agencies and its nonprofit partners will continue to offer assessments and appropriate service 
referrals to low income and homeless people and families with the ultimate goal of achieving self- 
sufficiency. For example, the planned Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS) Glendale-based Day 
Resource Center will offer case management and navigation services to homeless people. Other 
partners will offer food assistance to low income or homeless people, or housing and service navigation 
services to homeless people. These services may include employment referrals and training, as well as 
Financial Literacy and Debt Management Training.

Page 32 of 36 
 
 
Primarily, the City will utilize CDBG and ESG funding for homeless prevention and rapid re-housing 
programs along with services that lead to self-sufficiency. Through the City’s Community Action Program 
(CAP), the City will be providing poverty level families financial literacy classes and job training classes. 
This year a new summer youth employment program will be launched, providing job opportunity in a 
professional setting along with professional development for income eligible youth between the ages of 
15-19. The City will require and ensures that its subrecipients collect, maintain, and report data with 
regards to the needs of clients in order to prioritize actions and resources to address the greatest needs 
of families below the poverty level. 
 
Actions planned to develop institutional structure. 
 
The City has found that a coordinated local or regional response to supporting the needs of homeless or 
low income people maximizes the impact of its efforts. Toward that end, the CRD will continue to 
strengthen its partnerships with other City departments, particularly those within the Community 
Services Department, as well as nonprofit organizations and other public entities at the City, County, and 
State level. The City will also provide or support training for staff and providers in the areas of affordable 
housing, fair housing, economic development, and community development.  
 
Glendale currently coordinates with several City departments, non-profit organizations, and other public 
entities to meet the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan. In order to continue improving the 
institutional structures with the goal of maximizing benefits for low- and moderate-income persons and 
achieving performance outcomes, the City will continue to participate in local and regional committees, 
provide and/or support training for staff and providers in the areas of affordable housing, fair housing, 
economic development, and community development, and pursue closer relations with non-profit 
housing and service providers. 
 
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service 
agencies. 
 
During FY 2022-23, the City will utilize CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding to support both public and private 
housing programs including programs operated by human service agencies. The City will continue to 
utilize the services of the CDAC to review applications for funding and make funding recommendations. 
The housing and supportive service needs of homeless persons will also be addressed by participation in 
the CoC and funding for human service agencies. 
 
The City relies on the services of the Community Development Advisory Committee, comprised of a 
cross- section of Glendale residents including public housing residents, to review funding applications 
and make recommendations. Through its CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding, the City works with numerous 
government and private housing programs, including those operated by social service agencies to meet 
the housing and service needs of Glendale residents. Additionally, the City participates in various MAG 
subcommittee, and led efforts to create the West Valley Human Services Collaborative, which meets 
monthly to develop regional solutions to homelessness. 
 
Discussion 
 
The City has a wide network of partners to address the needs of the community that include various City 
Departments, Boards/committees, non-profit agencies, and for-profit businesses. Working cooperatively

Page 33 of 36 
 
to develop appropriate and efficient structures is a priority in order to maximize leverage of skills, 
funding and resources in order to address the City’s housing, homelessness, social and economic needs. 
 
Program Specific Requirements 
 
AP-90 Program Specific Requirements - 91.420, 91.220(l)(1,2,4) 
 
Introduction 
 
The following section provides information related to the City’s program income and National Objective 
considerations, followed by considerations for the use of ESG funds. 
 
The City projects program income is estimated to be $75,000 for FY 2022-23 and for subsequent years 
under the Consolidated Plan. If program income is received, the City will allocate those funds to existing 
projects in the same program year, except for any HOME program income received that will be held 
until a subsequent fiscal year. The City does not intend to spend any CDBG funds on urgent need 
activities in FY 2022-23.

1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) 
 
The City requires that subrecipients develop written standards that are consistently applied within 
the agencies’ ESG-funded programs. ESG subrecipients must conduct an initial evaluation to 
determine the eligibility of each individual or family seeking ESG-funded assistance. The eligibility 
determination is conducted during the intake process and the amount and types of assistance the 
individual or family needs to regain stability in permanent housing are determined. Subrecipients 
must use the annual HUD published income limits that are updated annually to determine income 
eligibility for program participation. Documentation is collected to show that the participants lack 
sufficient resources to remain in his/her home or enter new housing without ESG assistance. If there 
are changes in the income of the program participants, subrecipients are required to re-evaluate the 
eligibility and needs of the households. The City has a program policies and procedures binder which 
is used to guide it programs. The binder is incorporated by reference. ESG standards for providing 
assistance are included in all subrecipient agreements with service providers. 
 
The City is working with the Continuum of Care and the ESG Collaboration Work Group to 
standardize the contracting, eligibility determination and reporting documentation for the ESG 
program. The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) and Maricopa County Human Services 
are jointly leading the group’s efforts. The ESG Collaboration Work Group also includes the State of 
Arizona; the cities of Phoenix, Mesa and Glendale; Valley of the Sun United Way, and Solari. 
 
2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that 
meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. 
 
Centralized or Coordinated Assessment System 
 
The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) administers the regional Continuum of Care. 
According to the MAG CoC Regional Committee on Homelessness Governance Charter and 
Operating Policies, the CoC approved the Service Prioritization Decision Assessment Tool (SPDAT) 
and the Family SPDAT as the region’s common assessment tool. The tool was developed in 
collaboration with municipalities, homeless services providers, and funders.  The goal of the 
Coordinated Assessment System is to end homelessness quickly and effectively by following a 
housing first approach. The assessment system provides multiple access points throughout the 
region, streamlines the referral process, and prioritizes individuals and families with the highest 
level of needs. The CoC is currently implementing the coordinated assessment system. 
 
Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) 
 
HMIS is an electronic data collection system that facilitates the collection of information on persons 
who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The HMIS is being coordinated through the 
Maricopa CoC. ESG subrecipients are required to report program participant-level data such as the 
number of persons served and their demographic information in the HMIS database, in accordance 
with HUD published HMIS and data standards, and other community standards as may be adopted 
by the City of Glendale and/or the CoC. 
 
3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to 
private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations).

Page 35 of 36 
 
 
The City of Glendale’s Community Revitalization Division has an established process for accepting 
competitive applications from non-profit social service organizations that carry out activities and 
implement programs that are eligible for ESG funding. Applications also include grass roots faith 
based and other community organizations. The Community Development Advisory Committee 
(CDAC) is a citizen committee appointed by the Mayor and City Council. The CDAC makes funding 
recommendations to the City Council for community development programs including CDBG, 
HOME, and ESG. Recommendations are subject to approval by the City Council and become part of 
the City’s Annual Action Plan. 
 
Some faith-based organizations such as UMOM and A New Leaf received funding through CDBG and 
ESG. The Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) is a citizen committee appointed by 
the Mayor and City Council. The CDAC makes funding recommendations to the City Council for 
community development programs including CDBG, HOME, and ESG. Recommendations are subject 
to approval by the City Council and become part of the City’s AAP. 
 
During FY 2022-23, the City will receive an ESG allocation of $211,275 of which $15,845 or 7.5% will 
be used for administrative costs. In addition to these funds, the City has committed $125,000 in FY 
2020-21 CDBG funds, $574,510 in ESG-CV1 funds and $2,497,188 in ESG-CV2 funds to support a 
comprehensive homelessness initiative under a Master Services Agreement with one or more 
service providers. The agreement will provide a menu of ESG-eligible services to those experiencing 
or at risk of homelessness in the City. This approach will require that qualified subrecipients develop 
a flexible service delivery system where clients receive individualized assessments and case 
management, and can access services depending on their individual needs. The City will expect that 
the successful organization will provide a system that uses all ESG-eligible activities in any 
combination that they feel is necessary to achieve the City’s goal to reduce homelessness in the City. 
 
4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), 
the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly 
homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services 
funded under ESG. 
 
The Continuum of Care is governed by a Board which is the policy-setting and decision-making body 
for the CoC and receives input from various committees including the CoC Regional Committee on 
Homelessness. The City of Glendale is a member of the CoC Regional Committee on Homelessness. 
The City will meet the requirement at 24 CFR 576.405(a) since at least one homeless or formerly 
homeless individual serves on the CoC Board as well as on the Committee on Homelessness. The 
Committee on Homelessness is responsible for making recommendations and providing input to the 
CoC Board. 
 
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. 
 
The City will evaluate performance under the ESG program primarily by tracking goals in terms of 
beneficiaries assisted with homeless prevention or rapid re-housing and individuals and families 
provided with emergency shelter. The City will also use the timely distribution of funds as a 
performance standard. Program outcomes will be reported in the Consolidated Annual Evaluation 
Report (CAPER). The City will monitor ESG subrecipients to ensure that funds have been spent on 
eligible costs and that the program regulations and requirements have been met. The City will also

consult with the CoC on meeting regional goals to end homelessness as identified in the Ten-Year 
Plan to End Homelessness. The ESG program requires that the City must provide a 100% match from 
other sources. The City shall ensure that match amounts including other grants, cash, general funds, 
in kind services/costs are tracked and documented for both its own operations and the operations 
of its subrecipients under the program.
