projected number of project-based units and general locations, and describe how project basing would be consistent with the PHA Plan.
The Glendale Housing Authority will operate a Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program in accordance with HUD regulations and Glendale Housing
policies as defined in the HCV Administrative Plan.
In FY 2022, the Glendale Housing Authority intends to issue PBVs on previously selected development proposals based a competition as well as
competitive PBV Request for Proposals and, subject to its Board of Commissioners’ approval, to award PBV Housing Assistance Payments (HAP)
contracts to qualified developments that expand housing opportunities including to seniors, disabled, veterans, families, permanent supportive
housing, and housing in high opportunity areas.
The Glendale Housing Authority intends to commit up to 20% of its Housing Choice Vouchers to be utilized as Project Based Vouchers to attract
new development of quality affordable housing in Glendale. Glendale Housing may project-base an additional 10 percent of its authorized ACC
units above the 20 percent program limit [FR Notice 1/18/17; PIH Notice 2017-21]. The Glendale Housing Authority intends to award Project
Based Vouchers in conjunction with State of Arizona Low Income Housing Tax Credit competitive awards, Maricopa County competitive awards,
or through conducting a request for proposals. The city is targeting developments located near transit corridors, in the Glendale Centerline Overlay
District, near employment centers, and in areas that do not contain a high concentration of low-income households.
Page 3 of 9

attract new low-income Affordable Housing units to the city.
-
infill vacant land within the city.
-
provide resident services to the residents to assist the families with human services such as aftercare programs for youth, learning
programs, and job training programs.
-
developments will add much needed jobs to the community in building the developments and the management of the properties once the
construction has been completed.

Strategies and actions must affirmatively further fair housing ….” Use the chart provided to specify each fair housing goal from the PHA’s AFH for which the
PHA is the responsible program participant – whether the AFH was prepared solely by the PHA, jointly with one or more other PHAs, or in collaboration with a
state or local jurisdiction – and specify the fair housing strategies and actions to be implemented by the PHA during the period covered by this PHA Plan. If there
are more than three fair housing goals, add answer blocks as necessary.

affirmatively further fair housing in part by fulfilling the requirements at 24 CFR 903.7(o)(3) enacted prior to August 17, 2015, which means that it examines its
own programs or proposed programs; identifies any impediments to fair housing choice within those programs; addresses those impediments in a reasonable
fashion in view of the resources available; works with local jurisdictions to implement any of the jurisdiction’s initiatives to affirmatively further fair housing that
require the PHA’s involvement; and maintain records reflecting these analyses and actions. Furthermore, under Section 5A(d)(15) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937,
as amended, a PHA must submit a civil rights certification with its Annual PHA Plan, which is described at 24 CFR 903.7(o)(1) except for qualified PHAs who
submit the Form HUD-50077-CR as a standalone document.
